Nerd-fonts: Cannot user Fira Code Nerd Font Retina with VScode

[Happin3ss]

🎯 Subject of the issue

I installed various type of Fira Code Nerd Font Complete but want to specify to use Retina as the font for my VSCode. The below setting didn't work:
"editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code Retina Nerd Font Complete'",
or
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode Nerd Font-Retina'"
or
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode Nerd Font Retina"

The default Fira Code will work with:
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode-Retina'"
To use the regular, I use the below setting and It works:
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode Nerd Font",

🔧 Your Setup

• Fira Code Retina Nerd Font Complete
• VSCode 1.42
• macOS 10.15.3

★ Optional

try "FiraCodeNerdFontComplete-Retina" as a font name (cannot visually distinguish it from Regular, but at least vsc does not fail-back to the next font). I found it using:

$ strings ~/Library/Fonts/"Fira Code Retina Nerd Font Complete.otf" | grep Fira | less

Thank you for help. I tried but it didn't work for me.
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCodeNerdFontComplete-Retina"

Seems the only way to use retina is only install it without any other version and use the below setting:
"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode Nerd Font Mono"

@Happin3ss, my issue was not with VSCode specifically but this may help you.

I were checking what name Fira Code had in my system and it was called FiraCode NF, from there I used FiraCode NF Retina and it worked properly! I am unsure whether this may be your issue or not, but I hope I have helped you or anyone else with this issue.

Just like @wizardlink mentioned, the name of this font is FiraCode NF and FiraCode NF Retina so to use it in VSCode your font setting should be like this:

"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode NF Retina"

for me, it worked with FiraCodeNerdFontCompleteM-Retina (M stands for the Mono version)

I installed mine using homebrew just today:

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

I reached the same conclusion as @triangularcover but using a different method.
I checked the output of the command mentioned here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/243746
Then found the entry for "Fira Code Retina Nerd Font Complete.otf" and used the value "FiraCodeNerdFontComplete-Retina" found below "Typefaces". I'm not sure why for some the font is called FiraCode NF, maybe an older version?
