The fallback font is not activated in Terminal and behavior is different from Editor.

IDEA version:

IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2.1 (Community Edition)
Build #IC-192.6262.58, built on August 20, 2019
Runtime version: 1.8.0_212-release-1586-b12 amd64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0
GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep
Memory: 1947M
Cores: 8

Main Font : Consolas (With no Chinese characters.)
Fallback Font: Sarasa Mono Sc (with Chinese characters)
The problem is whatever the fallback font is, in Terminal window, the font rendering is strange, it fails to determine what font to use. On the contrary the font in code Editor works fine.

I have tested the problem also exists in Runtime version: 11.0.3+12-b304.39 amd64
And when I choose IDEA 2019.1.2 bundled JBSDK jbrsdk-8u202-windows-x64-b1483.49 the problem is gone. It seems like the bug exists since version 2019.1.2.

The steps to reproduce:

Step1 In Settings:

1. Console Font is not changed to instead of this setting.
2. Font rendering of Chinese characters in Settings window is fine.

Step 2 Open Terminal And type some words in Editor and Settings window.

That's obvious to see what the problem is.

If you want to Switch Boot JDK, please restart twice.(At least on my laptop after the first restart, the font is prefect. But twice, the problem appears.)

As far as I am concerned, the link below may be useful. But my description above is different from this. I'm not sure they are the same bug.
