Unable to find the selected font "NovaMono for Powerline".
On one of my computers I use Windows Terminal with Git Bash and PowerShell as my default terminals. For these terminals I have customized the appearance in Windows Terminal, which is a pretty nice feature. For both terminals, I had configured the NovaMono for Powerline font, which I had previously installed to Windows.
On a certain day I suddenly started getting these messages while either one of the terminals was initializing:
Unable to find the selected font "NovaMono for Powerline".
I checked my Windows fonts in both the Settings > Personalization > Fonts and through Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts. It appeared that the font was correctly installed.
Then I stumbled upon a Github issue
on which people seemed to be having the same problem. I got the advice
of dropping the original font file (.ttf) to the Drag and drop to install area of the aforementioned Settings > Personalization > Fonts configuration menu - even though my font was already listed there as an installed font.
However, that seemed to do the trick and now I can use my beloved font again. 👌
tl;dr
Error
Unable to find the selected font "NovaMono for Powerline".
Solution
Drag & drop original .ttf font file to Settings > Personalization > Fonts drag & drop area to (re-)install.
