4.  Make the downloaded font in settings of terminal. Pressing `Ctrl+Shift+,` will open the settings.json file.

    add below lines into `"defaults":{}` array

```

"font": {

        "face": "DaddyTimeMono NF"

      }

```

```

...

"profiles": {

    "defaults": {

      "font": {

        "face": "DaddyTimeMono NF"

      }

    },

    "list": [

      {

        "commandline": "%SystemRoot%\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe",

        ....

```

5.  Restart terminal with Admin privilege

6.  Edit the profile settings with notepad by running `notepad $PROFILE`
