Vscode: Using zsh theme for my terminal and I'm missing a font inconsolata for powerline

[J-S-Thomas]

• VSCode Version:newest
• OS Version:Ubuntu

I have zsh theme(cobalt2 from wesbos) and my theme looks incomplete with strange characters in certain points. I know why this is happening because I have no powerline fonts installed in the vscode integrated terminal. How do I add the inconsolata for powerline font to vscode terminal.

I added a screen shot to illustrate whats going on...

in my screenshot there should be an arrow at the end of the color indicator...

This is what My regular terminal looks like.....
notice the arrow...

@rebornix what did you need to do to get powerlines working again?

[rebornix]

If you have powerline font installed, you need to tell integrated terminal which one you are using.

For me, I'm using Meslo, if you take a look at my Iterm2 configuration, it's like

and my configuration is like

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Meslo LG M DZ for Powerline",

Please note I removed Regular as it's not part of the font family name.

Thanks @rebornix! I opened https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docs/issues/675 to follow up with some documentation on the website.

{
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'inconsolata for powerline'",
"terminal.integrated.fontSize": 16
}

EDIT: that feeling when you google for a problem you had a few months ago but have forgotten the solution, and you find your own comment on an issue.

2 hours later @looneym you finally gave me the clue with the ' wrapper, in case I need to find my own response some day, and for those using _SourceCodePro+Powerline+Awesome_ font here is what I had to use

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro+Powerline+Awesome Regular'",
