Changing to a custom font doesn't work reliably
Windows Terminal version
1.21.2701.0
Windows build number
10.0.22631.4317
Other Software
No response
Steps to reproduce
- Install custom font like "Fira Mono" or "IBM Plex Mono"
- Try to configure it in Windows Terminal
Expected Behavior
I expect the font to be changed
Actual Behavior
Windows Temrinal claims in cannot find the font when pressing the save button. This also happens if I change the font directly in the JSON, as soon as the config file is saved Terminal says it cannot find the font.
Although, after I trigger something (I did not find out yet what it is, maybe it's just randomly, it suddenly works until i restart terminal again)
Verify Font Installation: Ensure the font is correctly installed on your system and accessible.
Other applications don't have a problem accessing them
Clear Terminal Cache: Clear any cache or reset settings for the terminal.
Where can I do that?
Look for Updates: Check if there are any updates to Windows Terminal that might address this bug.
It's already the newest one that winget has available. I also tried to downgrade without luck.
This issue was previously reported in #17987 and has subsequently been fixed. We're just waiting to release it now, hopefully soon! /dup #17987

Are you sure? The Video looks very different from mine.
I apologize for the misunderstanding - we had multiple duplicates of the other issue come in over the last few days. I missed that you modified the settings.json file as well.
Also experiencing the same issue. Curiously the issue fixes itself if I simply open Settings i.e. the missing font error stops popping up and the font starts working in new Terminal tabs.
