How Do I Add a Custom Font in VS Code?

You can add custom fonts to VS Code by following these steps:

1. Download the font file: Find the font you want to use and download it from a reputable source. Common font file formats include .ttf, .otf, and .woff.

2. Install the font system-wide: Depending on your operating system, you can install the font by:

   • Windows: Double-clicking the font file and following the installation wizard.
   • macOS: Opening the font file and dragging it into the Fonts folder.
   • Linux: Copying the font file to the appropriate font directory.

3. Configure VS Code settings:

   • Open VS Code settings by pressing Ctrl+Comma (Windows/Linux) or Command+Comma (macOS).
   • Search for "font family" and select "Editor: Font Family".
   • Enter the name of your custom font. You can also add multiple fonts separated by commas, creating a fallback font list.

4. Restart VS Code: For the changes to take effect, restart VS Code.

Example:

Let's say you downloaded a font file called "MyCustomFont.ttf".

• You would install it system-wide according to your operating system's instructions.
• Then, in VS Code settings, you would set "Editor: Font Family" to "MyCustomFont".

Note: You may need to restart VS Code for the font changes to apply.
