This appears to be a bug in Brave - since it works on vanilla Chromium/Google Chrome, and also on Firefox/Safari. Can you file it upstream?

Also @fuse314, can you add the link to the Chromium bug tracker related to this issue at the issue description?

The issue can be also reproduced on Microsoft Edge (EDIT: it was an older version), as shown in the screenshot below.

I am also having this issue, pretty much identical setup. (running on Docker on a server, using Brave as my browser)

Thanks @fuse314, I didn't realise changing the font-size would help fix it (even if its just for that session). Better than squinting... 😆

I found this ticket upstream:
brave/brave-browser#14918

If I allow fingerprinting for my domain, the text is rendered correctly.

To fix this:

1. Click on "Brave Shield" logo
2. Under "Fingerprinting", select "Allow fingerprinting"
3. Enjoy

Woo! Glad you found it filed upstream and posted the fix/workaround. Thanks @fuse314 !

Amazing, thanks!

I am also having this issue....

I was able to fix it by copying the font family settings from
Text Editor-> Font -> Font Family
In to the terminal font family settings (which was blank)
Features->Terminal -> Font Family
resulting in..

Of course according the description (visible in the last image) code-server is supposed to do that automatically! It just didn't happen!

If you've having issues, please open a separate bug report! Thank you!
