🎯 Subject of the issue

Experienced behavior: I'd expect the 'mono' font to work in the terminal of VS code however it throws up a warning.

The terminal only supports monospace fonts. Be sure to restart VS Code if this is a newly installed font.

Expected behavior: That the specially "mono" titled font would work in the VS Code (pwsh) terminal.

Example symbols:

🔧 Your Setup

  • scoop
• Which terminal emulator are you using (e.g. iterm2, urxvt, gnome, konsole)?
  • none
• Are you using OS X, Linux or Windows? And which specific version or distribution?
  • Windows 11

Hmm, maybe more information would be good?

Thanks, will have a look probably in the afternoon (in some hours).

The relevant flags are set :thinking:

isFixedPitch is true and Panose-Proportion is 9 (i.e. monospaced)

Installed VSCode after installed the font (see upper picture below) and there is no problem?

Lets retry with some more distinctive font...

[Finii]

There seems to be no problem?

Maybe try to install it yourself / directly from the Release page:

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.2.0

Please uninstall the old font first and then reinstall, overwrite-install usually has problems.

[Finii]

Ah, and please try, only installing that one font file. If that works and the complete package installed fails we need to look somewhere else. But first we need to make sure the singular and anlone installed font file works.

(The images look bad, esp the font rendering, but that is an artifact of me connecting to the Windows (10) machine via Remmina with some cheapo protocol :grimacing: But It does take the font, no complains.)

[Finii]

Not holding bugfix release 3.2.1 anymore, closing this. 3.2.1 release started.

[OliverRC]

I tried again today, and all looks good; Sorry for the wild goose chase.

Good news :+1: Thanks for reporting back!
