Title:
Oh-My-Posh font not rendering in code-server terminal after setting terminal.integrated.fontFamily to "MesloLGM Nerd Font"

---

Description:
After updating the settings.json configuration in code-server to use the "MesloLGM Nerd Font" for the integrated terminal, the Oh-My-Posh font is not rendering correctly. The terminal displays fallback characters or incorrect symbols instead of the expected Oh-My-Posh glyphs.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install code-server and ensure Oh-My-Posh is configured in the shell (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc).
2. Add the following setting to settings.json:

   "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGM Nerd Font"

3. Restart code-server and open the integrated terminal.
4. Observe that the Oh-My-Posh font is not rendering correctly.

Expected Behavior:
The terminal should correctly render the Oh-My-Posh font using "MesloLGM Nerd Font" as specified in the configuration.

Actual Behavior:

Steps to Reproduce

1. install oh-my-posh oh-my-posh
2. then install the font oh-my-posh font install meslo
3. change the config for code-server by :"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGM Nerd Font"

Seems fair to call this a duplicate of #1374

I looked around to see if the issue has been reported upstream. microsoft/vscode#83294 is the closest I could find, but technically it is about a different issue. There is discussion here but not much: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/42740
