Set-Theme Paradox
Edit Windows Terminal profile:

Open Windows Terminal Settings.
{
    // Make changes here to the powershell.exe profile.
    "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
    "name": "Windows PowerShell",
    "commandline": "powershell.exe",
    "fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL",
    "fontSize" : 11,
