GNOME Terminal (the default Ubuntu terminal): Open Terminal → Preferences and click on the selected profile under Profiles. Check Custom font under Text Appearance and select MesloLGS NF Regular.
Apple Terminal: Open Terminal → Preferences → Profiles → Text, click Change under Font and select MesloLGS NF family.
Microsoft Terminal: Open Settings (Ctrl+,), search for fontFace and set value to MesloLGS NF for every profile. If you are using any other terminal click here for the configuration.
