The software giant is planning to make it available in mid-June, and it marks Microsoft’s latest efforts to improve the developer environment on Windows 10. Microsoft unveiled the new Windows Terminal app during the company’s Build developer conference today. This text rendering is DirectX-based, and it will display text characters, glyphs, and symbols that are available on your PC including CJK ideograms, emoji, powerline symbols, icons, and programming ligatures. Windows Terminal will also support emoji and GPU-based text rendering.
Microsoft is adding multiple tab support alongside theming and customization for developers who want to tweak the Terminal app.
It’s designed to be the central location for access to environments like PowerShell, Cmd, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Microsoft is launching a new command line app for Windows, dubbed Windows Terminal.
