🎯 Subject of the issue

Caskaydia Cove (and probably other Nerd Fonts) does not appear in the list of fonts in either CMD or PowerShell.

Experienced behavior: Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible Regular works fine with Windows Terminal and VSCode, but doesn't appear in the font list in the build-in CMD or PowerShell.

Expected behavior: The font appears in the list.

🔧 Your Setup

• Which font are you using (e.g. Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete.ttf)? Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible Regular.otf, downloaded from the latest GitHub Release (v2.2.2)

★ Screenshots (Optional)

Sorry to hear of your problems.

Quick shot: I believe cmd does only work with our ttf files, not the otf one.

If you are after a patched Cascadia Code, you could use as workaround Delugia (another project, not Nerd Fonts) which has it as ttf font, and it is selectable on my cmd at least:

Hmm, just wanted to say that mononoki.ttf works, but that is 2.2.1 I have. This needs more investigation.

It appears that CMD and PowerShell don't support OpenType fonts. mononoki.ttf worked for me.
