Bug#1065553: marked as done (fonts-jetbrains-mono: Jetbrains-Mono 2.304 broken in Gnome Terminal)
> Tried again, and the problem goes away if I close all open gnome-terminals, so this bug can be closed.
> I guess it's a problem in gnome-terminal that doesn't detect the font file changed, and tries accessing glyphs in wrong locations in the font file (based on the older file).
There is a longstanding bug where apps need to be restarted to make
use of updated fonts. A particularly serious report of this is
https://bugs.debian.org/788791 which is mitigated because the
Cantarell font (the default UI font for Debian's GNOME Shell) is only
updated rarely.
Thank you,
