### Why does the configuration wizard run automatically every time I start zsh?
When Powerlevel10k starts, it automatically runs `p10k configure` if no `POWERLEVEL9K_*`
parameters are defined. Based on your prompt style choices, the configuration wizard creates
`~/.p10k.zsh` with a bunch of `POWERLEVEL9K_*` parameters in it and adds a line to `~/.zshrc` to
source this file. The next time you start zsh, the configuration wizard shouldn't run automatically.
If it does, this means the evaluation of `~/.zshrc` terminates prematurely before it reaches the
line that sources `~/.p10k.zsh`. This most often happens due to syntax errors in `~/.zshrc`. These
errors get hidden by the configuration wizard screen, so you don't notice them. Scroll up in the
first configuration wizard screen to see these errors. Alternatively, type
`POWERLEVEL9K_DISABLE_CONFIGURATION_WIZARD=true zsh` to start zsh without automatically running the
configuration wizard. Once you can see the errors, fix `~/.zshrc` to get rid of them and to ensure
that the whole file gets evaluated when you start zsh.
### I cannot install the recommended font. Help!
