All text is black in all themes

[vgrigoriu]

Issue Type: Bug

Not sure how I got to this state, but no matter what theme I choose and what syntax the file has, all text is black (background color does change, boldness etc. do change). Weirdly, I do see colors in the minimap on the right.

Same here (terminal is colourless as well). I just happen to upgrade from macOS Catalina (10.15) to macOS Monterey (12). Extension bisect did not help. Does not happen when I remove ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/.

I could bisect it to a missing/broken font, since removing it from the editor.fontFamily setting fixed the issue for me.

Replacing "Source Code Pro" Regular OTF with the TTF variant fixes the issue for me. Maybe this needs to be raised at https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro ?

This one looks like duplicate of #100840 (at least it is for @nietonfir). Workaround described in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/100840#issuecomment-726769115

@vgrigoriu could you please confirm that you have Source Code Pro in your fontFamily settings as well?

@nietonfir I think it's already reported/fixed https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/issues/250 however I'm not sure how/when this font is installed on your devices and how it should be updated.

Thanks everyone, an update of Source Code Pro fixed it!
