Italics are rendered as Cascadia Code, but slanted artificially by VSCode, instead of using the bespoke Cascadia Code Italic.

Even I am also facing the same. Seems like the problem is with the font naming. For now you can use the fonts inside ttf folder(there are 8 fonts) instead of ttf/static. That works fine for me. After installing the fonts just use "cascadia code" in vscode/font family, the italics will also work fine. You dont need to specify "cascadia code italics" explicitly

Maybe you can install the Windows Terminal in Microsoft store. It comes with a Cascadia code and others, and the font will stay up to date. Then set Font Family to Cascadia Code and no Cascadia Code Italic

I think you should swap the order, the font renderer uses the first font that contains the character.

Unfortunately, that makes everything italic: Screen Shot 2021-05-30 at 21 58 42

There's been an issue with the static instance naming (see #481). I recommend using the variable font version of the font for the time being rather than the static installs until a new release is pushed. At that point, you will only need to state "Cascadia Code" to get both the upright and italic forms.

As this appears to be a dupe of #481, I will close this one.
