Using the steps from #35188 with Fira Code on my Windows 10 VM:

The terminal's rendering seems to have less weight?

I'm having similar issue with Version 1.17.1 (1.17.1) on macOS Sierra 10.12.6

The terminal font looks a little bit blurry and squeezed compared to the editor font:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Menlo",
"terminal.integrated.lineHeight": 1.4,

Editor

I'm also seeing this issue on the same configuration as @wsmd

[abrakidabra]

I'm having the same issue. Only in the latest version though. This wasn't a problem for me in v1.17.

macOS 10.12.6
VS Code v1.17.1

Edit: Should have mentioned I'm on the 2012 Macbook Pro Non-retina model. Screen resolution is 1440x900.

Can repro on a low DPI monitor (well VM).

The font renders fine again, but I still got this issue on macOS Sierra where the character under the cursor gets pushed up in the first line of the terminal:

It only happens when I'm in the first line, i. e., after opening the terminal or running clear. Anyone else with this? Could not find an open issue for it.

[Pajn]

It does not occur for me, I'm using pure prompt as well.

[simonhaenisch]

Happens with other prompts as well... how far the character gets pushed up depends on the line the cursor is in:

From line six on the currently selected character is invisible (which is probably why I thought it was only in the first line).

This didn't happen before updating to 1.17.1. Here is my current info:

• VSCode Version: Code 1.17.2 (b813d12980308015bcd2b3a2f6efa5c810c33ba5, 2017-10-16T13:47:41.889Z)
• OS Version: Darwin x64 16.7.0
• Reproduces without extensions: Yes

@simonhaenisch I cannot repro on Sierra. Can you create a new issue and include your settings.json file?

[ovasquez]

@Tyriar which was the font used by error in the Terminal? I actually liked it a lot and would like to set it again.

[Tyriar]

@ovasquez not sure what other people are using but I use Hack http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

[gonssal]

editor.fontFamily set to "Verdana".

(K)Ubuntu 17.10. Unusable.

[chrmarti]

@gonssal Could you open a new issue for this? Thanks.
