Configure Terminal Font

For WSL and Ubuntu Desktop, the dotfiles installation will automatically take care of installing the font and set it up for you in VS Code, Windows Terminal (for WSL), and GNOME Terminal (for Ubuntu Desktop).

On other systems or terminal emulators, you will need to configure it manually. Here are some tips:
