Topic: VSCode monospaced font

It is possible to set a monospaced font in VSCode? But most importantly, I need it to display all characters that are used in Lean. I work in the default settings and I hate how is thinner than other characters.

Apart from the Amazon suggestions, though, I am not able to help, sorry!

There is a relatively new font that might be of benefit for what you seek which is free.

JetBrains Mono

JetBrains is a company know for creating Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for popular programming languages.
Mono refers to the fact that the font is a monospaced font meaning each glyph takes has the same width.

The only downside I have found with the font is that it is not a predefined option in the font list of many tools so the font has to be downloaded and installed. (instructions) Other than that it is one of my go to fonts now.

One interesting side note about JetBrains Mono, there is a WOFF (Web Open Font Format) version.
