unable to locate the font file I recently downloaded in the Windows terminal

Interested in customizing your Windows terminal? I recently decided to change my font style and downloaded the desired one. However, despite seeing the font in control panel and trying the "downloading for every user" option, my terminal still can't locate the Agave NF Nerd font.

"profiles": 
    {
        "defaults": 
        {
            "colorScheme": "One Half Dark",
            "font": 
            {
                "face":  "agave NF"
            },
            "opacity": 70,
            "useAcrylic": true
        },
    }

I attempted to input the above code into the profiles defaults section of the Windows terminal's js file.

Answer №1

The problem arose for me when I only installed the font for the specific logged-in user, located at $Env:UserProfile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts.

However, the issue was resolved once I installed the font for all users by selecting the option to install for all users. More details can be found in the discussion on https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/12587.

Answer №2

Although it may be a common meme, I found that simply restarting the Terminal solved my issue.

To resolve the issue, I followed these steps:

  1. First, follow the instructions on Nerd Font Webinstall based on your operating system
  2. Next, open the settings within the Windows Terminal
  3. Locate and open the settings JSON file (found in the bottom left corner)
  4. Insert the following code snippet under the default section of your profile (as mentioned in the initial question) 
    "font":{"face":"<font name>"},
    or 
    "fontFace":"<font name>"
  5. Finally, restart the Windows Terminal to apply the changes

Hopefully, this solution proves helpful for anyone else facing the same issue.
