I am on linux mint 19 cinnamon. I am trying to use vscode, but the letters are all mangled and unreadable, like this. Can anyone help me fix this? thank you.

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 added editor.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.
