Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.329]
Windows Terminal Version: 1.0.1811.0
Same issue latest sources 592c634577

Steps to reproduce

Install CascadiaCodePL.ttf version 2007.001
In the settings.json file, add this line in the defaults section

"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL Light"

Expected behavior

The font used to render the termial should be Cascadia Code PL Light

Actual behavior

The font used to render the terminal is Consolas

using the regular Cascadia Code PL font works as expected:

"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL"

Note

Other applications, like VSCode, will render text using Cascadia Code PL Light font on the same system.

Unfortunately, Terminal expects a font family (we realize that we named the setting improperly). In the latest preview (1.1, which is entering the stable channel soon) we added support for fontWeight. Once you're hit with the update, you'll have to ...

"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL",
"fontWeight": "light",

/dup #1163 #6048

@microsoftopensource can the @msftbot be updated to link the duplicate? I'd love to see the resolution of this bug. Thanks

@cypher1 with the way we usually use the bot, the duplicate IDs are in the comment directly above the bot's response.
In this case, they're #1163 #6048.

Ahh! Thank you, had only got the notification and wasn't used to a bot behaving that way. Cheers
