What happened?

Can you try "MonoLisa Light" and match the naming of Font Book exactly as it is case sensitive?

[bebraw]

Another option would be to refer by number as in https://www.monolisa.dev/faq#how-to-change-the-font-weight-how-to-enable-variable-weight .

And Plus version not support font-weight?

That's coming from the standard. Each font has a weight associated by a number.

To follow CSS spec, you would need "editor.fontFamily": "'MonoLisa Light'", to match the name visible at Font Book. Is this what you tried exactly? Note the '.

Another option would be

 "editor.fontFamily": "MonoLisa",
 "editor.fontWeight": 300

[bebraw]

Based on system information, the name is MonoLisa Light Regular so based on that "editor.fontFamily": "'MonoLisa Light Regular'" might do the trick if you don't want to use fontWeight number.

[bebraw]

Another thing to note is that the name changed between 2.003 and 2.005 for some reason. In 2.003 it was MonoLisa Light and in 2.005 it is MonoLisa Light Regular.

I tested it against plus. As instructed in the FAQ, the minimal configuration for VS Code is the following:

  "editor.fontFamily": "MonoLisa",
  "editor.fontWeight": 300,

It is important not to set "editor.fontVariations": true, unless you are using a variable version.
