Add support for different fonts in the same file

[RobertPaulson90]

Add support for choosing different font ligatures, than those within the "editor.fontFamily" selected font. For example, I would really like to use Operator Mono letters together with Fira Code ligatures. Atom-editor lets you do this.

A hacky workaround is with the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension. https://medium.com/@zamamohammed/multiple-fonts-alternative-to-operator-mono-in-vscode-7745b52120a0 @mohammedzamakhan

The Custom CSS and JS Loader extension makes vscode think it is corrupted, so I'd really prefer avoiding this hack.

Another custom workaround, which stopped working: https://gist.github.com/Mikeysax/e707e6971d991a7552017b4c00ef6a97

I came across this issue after spending some time reading the same Medium post linked above, I as well would like to my Operator Mono font with Fira Code ligatures. The method in the medium post does not seem to work. If I to take a guess it seems like the styles changed with the recent update of vscode 1.14.2. It's a shame that this does not seem to work, hopefully there will be a solution some time soon :)

I have found to embed the ligature into operator mono font itself. check the above project looks promising. and for operator mono book https://github.com/kennyklee/operator-mono-book-lig

also, you can apply it to any variant by just renaming script a bit.

I use Pragmata Pro, and would love to see ligature support in VS Code for generic fonts that have ligatures, as opposed what seems to be essentially whitelisting fonts that the developers are aware of.

(though I'd probably be satisfied with support for just my particular font/use case, of course...)

Late to the game. I was able to add ligatures using the Killman operator-mono-lig project as mentioned by @sagarrabadiya above, and adding "editor.fontLigatures": true in my settings.json.

Here's my fonts section in VS Code's settings.json:

{
    "editor.fontSize": 18,
    "editor.fontFamily": "Operator Mono Lig, Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Apple Color Emoji'",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true
}

I find this related to my subject, so I request it here. Is it possible to have support for multiple font families in VS Code? I like my comments be in different font family for example.

As mentioned there is an Custom CSS and JS Loader extension, but I don't like it because it seems VS Code complain about using it (with promoting it's corrupted).

Any updates on this? eagerly waiting

This would be so good, and people have been hacking vs code to do this for more than 5 years, i would love if somehow we could implement as an official feature and dont worry about breaking vs code anymore.

And now with GitHub's own Monaspace fonts... Neon for code, radon for comments 💯

Any suggestions where to start from trying to implement this feature? I need it actually for rendering same font but in different sizes at the same file. #200971
