Use Fira Code in VSCode

Fira Code is a monospaced font that is easier to code with.

To use it with VSCode, you need to:

  1. Install the font.

    To install it, I recommend to install it with homebrew,

    BASH
    brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
    brew install --cask font-fira-code

    or, with chocolatey if you are on Windows.

    CMD
    choco install firacode
  2. After installing it, you should probably reboot to get the font loaded.

  3. Configure your VSCode settings.

    JSON
    {
    "editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code"
    }

    Optionally, you may want to enable "font ligatures".

    This case, you should do:

    JSON
    {
    "editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true
    }
  4. Done! Enjoy your new font with VSCode.
