Sounds like you probably don't want any more headaches setting up LSD, but in case anyone else is reading this, LSD will let you specify in a config to use unicode symbols, or none at all, instead of nerd font style icons which would avoid your font issues

I just tried this. It seems to work OK, though it just gives empty missing boxes for a few things, like text files, python script, etc.
