settings - How to use custom font in visual studio code

Question

This isn't so much a coding question as it is about the visual studio code editor. What I want to do is use source code pro in the editor, but I don't know what to change the font setting to. Thanks!

Answer 1

First install the font on your machine if necessary. Then, in your user settings JSON file (File > Preferences > User Settings), override editor.fontFamily like so:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "editor.fontFamily": "Source Code Pro"
}

You may need to restart VSCode if it was already open when the font was first installed.
