Considering the current issues with fonts, you can try and change the VSCode fonts with:
"editor.fontFamily": "'Courier New'"
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'DejaVu Sans Mono'"
And see if the situation improves.
Or: see this comment:
For me at least, this was solved by first viewing the user settings (
File>Preferences>Settings
), and when I addededitor.fontFamily
to the object I found the default settings out, which were:"editor.fontFamily": "'Droid Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, 'Droid Sans Fallback'",
As I'm running Linux Mint I don't believe this distro or Ubuntu carry Droid Sans Mono by default any more, so I simply downloaded it from Google Fonts and installed it via the normal means.
Restarted VS Code and voila! Nice fonts again.
