Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

My editor looks like this:

The following settings.json can cause it. Just setting the font to JetBrains Mono breaks everything. Other fonts such as Arial and Menlo work fine. JetBrains Mono renders fine in other editors on my system.

{
  "buffer_font_family": "JetBrains Mono"
}

Version 0.119.18 worked fine yesterday, but today both it and 0.119.19 render everything incorrectly.

Environment

Zed: v0.119.19 (Zed) OS: macOS 14.2.1 Memory: 16 GiB Architecture: aarch64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

I am unable to reproduce this in Zed 0.119.20, with or without Jetbrains Mono being installed into Font Book:

Maybe it's related to a specific version of the font I'm using? Here's what's in my /Library/fonts directory. JetBrainsMono fonts.zip

I noticed something odd. If I set my terminal font, some things aren't scrambled. Everything I type and stdout is scrambled, but parts of my starship prompt come through normally (the ascii fish and git branch name)

I deleted Jetbrains Mono from Font Book and installed using your zip file and still everything looks OK on my end. Are you on the .20 release? Do you have anything else in your settings.json?

Maybe try clearing your font cache?

I installed the font from the homebrew/cask-fonts/font-jetbrains-mono Homebrew cask; it's on whatever the latest version of that is. I also manually installed the Nerd Font version of the font from https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/ on June 4, 2023. That version of the font works fine, weirdly.

This is my current settings.json, but I can reliably reproduce with it completely empty except for the buffer_font_family property.

{
  "theme": "Ayu Mirage",
  "buffer_font_family": "Menlo",
  "buffer_font_size": 12,
  "ui_font_size": 15,
  "ui_font_family": "System Font",
  "buffer_line_height": "standard",
  "vim_mode": true,
  "base_keymap": "VSCode",
  "features": {
    "copilot": false
  },
  "terminal": {
    "dock": "right",
    "font_family": "Menlo",
    "font_size": 12,
    "line_height": "standard"
  }
  // "telemetry": {
  //     "diagnostics": false,
  //     "metrics": false
  // }
}

I'll try clearing the font cache, although I'm using this font in Visual Studio Code and iTerm without issues.

I closed applications, ran sudo atsutil databases -remove in Terminal, and rebooted. No change.

(The atsutil server -shutdown command displays a message that the ATS utility is unsupported in macOS 14)
