Which font specifically are you using? "Powerline Fonts" isn't terribly descriptive. Does the font work in other applications after rebooting? Can you share a screenshot of it working in Windows...

This is really fascinating! I wonder if it reproduces on v0.6? Sorry, I've never seen anything like this before, but we did make some font changes in that release.

Also, if you install the font "for all users" instead of just plain installing it, does it work after a reboot? This might be something fun for the font team...

So, Terminal isn't doing anything special with the font cache. We're using DirectWrite, the text rendering API, like most other apps on the system are. Now, I've got one last...

:grin: Thanks for testing for me. I was concerned that Terminal was starting up before the font cache was, and the font cache was somehow not simply a cache, but...

There's some discussion about getting options into the renderer in #817.

This just needs somebody to sit down to debug. Thanks for the report.

@allforabit I’m willing to bet what you’re describing is different. How are you restarting the terminal process? We haven’t seen any reports of hanging-on-close in a while.

This is related to #3062.

> 30 years and we still can't render Arabic characters inside Windows terminal, while Ubuntu and Mac can do ! @jalchr Thanks for reaching out. Comments like this are not...
