Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Build Zed from source on windows, make sure to uninstall Segoe Fluent Icons if you have them installed, and try to run it. The window will show up for a brief moment, then exit with code 0xffffffff. Installing the font solves the issue.

Environment

Zed: v0.133.0 (Zed Dev ae3c641bbee2029fb4588d008e45ddb783593622) OS: Windows 10.0.19045 Memory: 15.9 GiB Architecture: x86_64

[overestimate]

For those in need of a workaround, you can use this .ttf (should be marked as digitally signed in the font viewer) or pull the font from your own copy of the Windows 11 ISO at sources\install.(esd|wim) > Windows\Fonts\SegoeIcons.ttf (use 7-zip to open the archive). Install the font locally and it should start up after that.

I've also tried Zed (or rather GPUI) on Windows, and ran into the same problem.

Though in my case, the Helvetica font (which seems to be the default on Windows) is missing, which leads to the following error:

[2024-04-24T14:32:49Z INFO  gpui::platform::windows::platform] Using direct write text system.
[2024-04-24T14:32:50Z INFO  gpui::platform::windows::platform] use DCompositionWaitForCompositorClock for vsync

thread 'main' panicked at ...\zed\crates\gpui\src\platform\windows\direct_write.rs:357:14:
called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value

It seems that GPUI is supposed to use Arial as the backup font, but it doesn't search for it in the systems fonts but only in the custom font collection, where it can't find Arial: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/e1791b7dd0ff1948d3d302674fda2f659974c0b3/crates/gpui/src/platform/windows/direct_write.rs#L348-L355

This should have been fixed by #10877

[elenakrittik]

Issue still persists for me, Zed doesn't even open a window now. Looks like the patch worked, but in a wrong way, as Windows now selects "Segoe UI" (which doesn't seem to have icons that Zed needs) even if "Segoe UI Icons" is installed.

Windows build is broken currently due to #10954

Built latest commit, can confirm Zed opens just fine w/o icon font (albeit with window decoration icons missing, but that's expected), thanks!
