Description
The terminal integrated well with zsh, but the theme I'm using `AgnosterZak` need powerline fonts to work, and the font works fine in my iterm, not in the vsc termimal as shown below:
I believe this is because the terminal is reading every char in ASCII mode and always use the system default font? In the iTerm i have to change my font option like this:
Maybe its possible to add a feature to allow user customize loading font?
OS: OSX 10.13.6

Research direction
Start by reproducing the AgnosterZak Powerline font rendering issue in the integrated terminal on macOS 10.13.6, comparing it with the working iTerm configuration described in the issue. Trace the terminal extension's font and character rendering configuration; done means Powerline glyphs display correctly or the required font setting is clearly exposed.
