What happened?

After the latest update of Windows Terminal Preview (to version 1.9.1445.0), I've noticed that the Cascadia Code v2102.025 font shipped with it (which I set as my main IDE editor font) is now showing unexpected characters when viewing my files:

Cascadia Code:

vs. Consolas:

Code shown in above screenshots:

# source venv/bin/activate
# cd misc
# clear && python test_normalize_all--performance.py


#
import os
os.environ['IS_ENV_TEST'] = 'True'


import sys
sys.path.append('../')

from server.tool.performance.normalize import normalize_file

I suspect that this is due to postscript naming issues that will be solved by the #482 / #466 PR updates as Jet Brains has a particular way of enumerating fonts.

Closing as a suspected dupe of #482. Feel free to re-open if the next version of the font doesn't solve this for you.
