I updated the gist with your comment.
You saved many people.

Thank you.

Glad I was able to help. It was definitely annoying!

Hey guys, I'm using powerlevel10k and oh-my-zsh on my curretn zsh default profile. The rendering of powerlines and glyphs seem to be working fine, but for some reason, whenever I try to run a cli command, the name of the terminal changes to this strange name (e.g. "zsh - p10k.worker.501.37096.16454196804.fifo" ) and after the name is like this, all other vscode command (like split terminal view, or create a new terminal) start throwing error messages like this one on the print ("The terminal process failed to launch [...]" ).
It is not a MAJOR issue, but it has been bugging me for a while...any tips or comments on thar are very much appreciated 😅

I think Powerline fonts installs when you install Agnoster theme with oh-my-zsh. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

worked like a charm. Thanks...

It worked perfectly for me, thanks a lot!
