…font Prompt themes such as Powerlevel10k and Starship rely on Nerd Font icons in the Private Use Area, which the default mono stack cannot render. - Append common Nerd Font families as fallbacks before the generic `monospace`, so icons render whenever one is installed while ASCII keeps the existing font. - Add a "Terminal font" setting (Appearance → Terminal) that applies live to open terminals and refits cols/rows.

Include Terminal font in Appearance’s reset.
When restoreDefaults() runs after a user saves a terminal font, the font remains selected. The reset function at Line 1982 does not clear this new Appearance preference. Add saveTerminalFont("") to that reset so the input and open terminals return to the default font stack.

Keep monospace after the Nerd Font fallbacks.
If a user enters monospace, MesloLGS NF, this line puts the generic font before the named font. The terminal then uses the generic font for ordinary glyphs instead of the requested font. A custom stack such as Menlo, monospace also puts the generic font before every Nerd Font fallback. Remove an unquoted monospace from custom families, as the code already does for the base stack, and append it once at the end. CSS font families use list order as priority. (developer.mozilla.org)

Thanks @nwoolls, #767 covers the Nerd Font glyph part of this PR. The terminal now has its own The other half of this PR is a Terminal font setting (Appearance → Terminal). It lets users choose their own terminal font, e.g. @hardbeat920, is that setting something you'd want? If so, I'll rebase this PR onto #767: drop the Nerd Font fallbacks, keep |

Problem
Prompt themes like Powerlevel10k, Starship, and oh-my-posh draw icons from the Nerd Font Private Use Area. The integrated terminal only used the app's
--font-monostack (SF Mono, Menlo, …), which has none of these glyphs, so those icons showed up as boxes or blanks.Changes
src/features/terminal/model/terminalFont.ts): the xtermfontFamilynow inserts common Nerd Font families (Symbols Nerd Font Mono,MesloLGS NF, JetBrainsMono / FiraCode / Hack / CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font, …) after the regular mono stack and before the genericmonospace. ASCII text keeps the current font. Icons fall back to whichever Nerd Font is installed, so the default look doesn't change.MesloLGS NF. Names with spaces are quoted automatically. The setting applies live to open terminals and refits cols/rows. You can also find it by searching for terms like "nerd", "powerline", or "zsh".TerminalViewsubscribes to the setting and updatesterm.options.fontFamily.Notes
brew install --cask font-symbols-only-nerd-fontis the smallest install.Monovariants are recommended. Non-mono Nerd Font icons are wider and can overlap neighbouring cells in xterm.Testing
terminalFont.test.tsfor font-family parsing and stacking. All terminal tests pass, andtsc --noEmitis clean.src/features/settingsfail locally on Node 25 (localStorage.clear is not a function). They fail the same way on a cleanmain, so this PR doesn't cause them.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
