finally fixed my terminal font issues #107942

Closed hems closed 3 years ago

hems commented 4 years ago

After months and months having the issue with my font being cropped on the bottom of the terminal i managed to solve the issue by importing the font into https://www.glyphrstudio.com/online/ then export it as OTF.

This comment is related to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/35901 and the reason why i'm creating this separate "issue" is because that issue is locked and it seems there are a lot of people with the same problem, so perhaps this "tip" could be added to an FAQ of some sort.

Thanks a lot for your hard work on VSCode.

Thanks for the info! I added it to the locked issue to increase visibility. Since the canvas renderer will be removed in the future (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/106202) I don't think we should add this to the docs.

i'm not 100% sure if that's related to the canvas renderer.. i remember trying the experimentalWebGL on OSX and Linux and it had exactly the same issue, at least with that font, and i assume, with other fonts too.

That's my comment on the experimentalWebGL from the time i tried..

I just installed vs code on my fresh linux machine so i'm not sure which rendered i'm using now, how can i check which one is currently being used?

@hems - I gave this a shot bit it broke a bunch of the characters (could have been me using Glyphr Studio wrong) and it didn't appear to fix the other graphical problems I was having.
