I have used Scott Hanselman’s tips in the past regarding setting up Windows Terminal and then updating to newer fonts.

He recently publised a post about using terminal icons . I think they look great.

I had a small hiccup where my icons were not displaying correctly. A search on Stackoverflow got me here How to get @DevBlackOps Terminal-Icons module working in PowerShell on Windows

After following the tips by snsnsjsn, I got my Windows Terminal ( both Windows Powershell and Powershell ) displaying correctly.

Windows Terminal

My profile (notepad $profile) looks like

Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Import-Module Terminal-Icons

Set-PoshPrompt -Theme jandedobbeleer

And the Windows Terminal > properties > Settings has entires for

            {
                "commandline": "powershell.exe",
                "fontFace": "CaskaydiaCove NF",
                "fontSize": 11,
                "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "Windows PowerShell"
            },            
            {
                "guid": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
