My terminal in VSCode has a tiny font after installing zsh and changing font style?

Question

If you look at the vscode terminal - its too tiny. Heres the user settings that I have modified to create this result. I have searched how to change terminal fonts at vscode but I have followed all instructions pertaining to terminal.integrated.fontSize and this doesnt help at all - it only lengthens the line. Please advise - thanks in advance.

Im sure there are a few answers to this. But to solve mine, I had to change the terminal.integraded.fontFamily. Try these theme "Monaco" for instance. Add this line to your settings.

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Monaco"

If the font size does not change and only increases the letter spacing, try a few checks:

1. Save the settings and close the vscode editor and re-open a new one.
2. Try restarting the vscode.
3. The Font family theme that you select play a huge role in a how it it renders.
4. Check this font family themes that you can test.

This is my current setting as far as basic visuals for CLI and the editor:

    

    "explorer.confirmDelete": false,
    "workbench.sideBar.location": "left",
    "workbench.statusBar.visible": true,
    "editor.fontFamily": "Monaco",
    "editor.fontSize": 12,
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Hack",
    "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 10,
    "terminal.integrated.lineHeight":1,
    "editor.tabSize": 2,

Again, these are checks you can do. I hope this helps cause it definitely took me a while to change my view of visual code terminal above to the one I have below now:
