Intellij integrated terminal font ligatures zsh

Question

IntelliJ's integrated terminal doesn't seem to work with font ligatures. Zsh works and gets the correct theme but the built in terminal doesn't use the correct font. (see screenshot below)

Ligatures work fine in iTerm2 and the editor section of IntellJ using fira code font.

Attempts so far:

• I've set the shell path under Preferences/Tools/Terminal to /bin/zsh
• Enabled font ligatures and set font to fira code under Editor/Font
• Enabled font ligatures set font to fira code under Editor/Color Scheme/Console Font
