Fixing VSCode terminal font

#vscode

I just noticed that my vscode terminal window was having font issues. Especially obvious when it shows the git branch. Those little squares don't look right...

Take a look...

It's super easy to fix though. Download a powerline font (I like 'Cascadia Code PL') and install it on your machine.

Now all you need to do is add the following line to your vscode settings.json...

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Cascadia Code PL"

And hey presto...

If vscode gives you any errors like 'terminal only supports monospace fonts' then you can try 'MesloLGM Nerd Font'.

Thanks for this! so simple but searching for it for a while, I can reccomend DroidSansMono to anyone trying to find a compatable font! (Nerd Font)

This is outdated, Cascadia Code PL still has some broken character and vs code terminal doesn't support Meslo.
