[bug] Cannot use different styles of Input Mono font

[WojciechThomas]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal version: 1.5.10411.0

Steps to reproduce

Use any editor to configure fontFace setting.

Expected behavior

Accept different versions of Input Mono font, e.g.:

        "defaults":
        {
            // Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles.
            "fontFace": "Input Mono Narrow"  // or Condensed or Compressed
        },

Actual behavior

With font faces different than "Input Mono" Terminal falls back to Consolas font.

With "Input Mono" font everything works correctly:

I've tried installed all 3 variants of Input Mono:

The DWrite API actually reports that Input Mono Condensed does not exist in the system. However Input Mono does exist. @zadjii-msft @DHowett any idea why this is happening?

It's not just "Input Mono", the same behavior can be seen with Hack. I normally use "Hack Regular", but since the update that falls through to Consolas.

[DHowett]

It's more probable that since the update it tells you that it fell back to Consolas. That error dialog is hooked up to the renderer actually failing to find the font, even after it's tried a couple different ways. It was perhaps never working properly, and the dialog only now alerts you to that fact. 😄

[epyonavenger]

Well, it was definitely using Hack Regular at some point, though to your point, it's possible it was never quite right, and only now is it notifying me. Still, I'd trade not being notified for using the right font again. 🤔

This looks like a real bug, but I've got no idea why this isn't working. I'll stick it in 2.0 - we'll figure it out eventually 😄
