I think a remark about the fact that the new Terminal app doesn't and won't support any font related functions should be added somewhere in the documentation.
I recently tried using this function with no success, even tho it should have worked according to the documentation.
I then made an issue on the project's repo (microsoft/terminal#7585)
And I was told that it won't be supported by design (microsoft/terminal#6832 (comment))
Adding just a little line in the remarks section about this would help a lot in these types of issues.

Add mention about the new Terminal app not supporting this function
Add remark about the new Terminal app not supporting this function
Sep 10, 2020
That's a great call and I'll try to find time in the next pass of console docs to call out how the original console and Terminal are and will be different.
A banner at the top saying that this API is generally not recommended
This banner links to a page talking about classic console APIs vs VT and why we're favoring VT
It also links to a roadmap talking about where the console came from and where we're going toward with the Terminal
A banner in the remarks section that describes why this API is not recommended as it has no Virtual Terminal equivalent which makes it nigh impossible to remote properly and mesh with the other platforms and ecosystems where terminals are the norm.
If you don't think that's sufficient, please let me know with a further comment. The doc content should go live today/tomorrow and is visible in our main branch right now.
