Description

The rendering quality of certain Nerd Fonts symbols is not always correct in Windterm.
I am using the Cascadia Code NF font, and I've noticed that Windterm has display issues
with complex symbols, particularly when it comes to Nerd Fonts.

I've tested the same symbols in other terminals, and the issue does not occur there.
This leads me to believe the issue is specific to Windterm's handling of these symbols.

The Nerd Fonts symbols should be displayed correctly, as seen in other terminals.

Here is the correct rendering of a TMux status line using Nerd Fonts:

In Windterm, the same symbols are rendered incorrectly, showing incomplete or distorted symbols.

Thank you for your help and your great terminal project!
