Which font is used in Visual Studio Code Editor and how to change fonts?

Question

I tried Visual Studio Code editor(https://code.visualstudio.com/) which is recently announced at build. I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. I can see that default font of Visual Studio Code Editor is not consolas which prefer on my code editors.

So which is default font of Visual Studio Code Editor in All the environments(Ubuntu, MAC OS and windows)? And how can I change it?

Answer 1

Go to Preferences > User Settings. (Alternatively, Ctrl + , / Cmd + , on macOS)

Then you can type inside the JSON object any settings you want to override. User settings are per user. You can also configure workspace settings, which are for the project that you are currently working on.

Here's an example:

// Controls the font family.
"editor.fontFamily": "Consolas",

// Controls the font size.
"editor.fontSize": 13
