"editor.fontFamily": "Consolas, Monospace, Segoe UI semilight"

after update to v1.99.0 VSCode doesn't set Consolas or Monospace fonts, Segoe UI semilight font applies
if I change font e.g. to Segoe UI it applies
so Consolas and Monospace fonts don't work, such behaviour started after last VSCode update, which was today

I cannot reproduce it.

Modifying my setup from
"editor.fontFamily": "Cascadia Code NF", to "editor.fontFamily": "Consolas, Cascadia Code NF",
I see the change of font.

Be aware the default of fontFamily setting is

"editor.fontFamily": "Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",

Just to say, monospace is in lowercase.

I cannot reproduce it.

"Cascadia Code NF" doesn't work either.

"editor.fontFamily": "'Courier New'" works

If I do "editor.fontFamily": "monospace" font doesn't change.

pls try monospace solely

[albertosantini]

Of course, I installed Cascadia font.

With only monospace, the font is changed to monospace.

how can I check in Editor what is the current font?
it seems like Consolas font doesn't apply there

[albertosantini]

It is about your operating system, not the editor.

It is about your operating system, not the editor.

my OS didn't change after last VS Code update

[Botan626]

Looks like the font I saw before last VS Code update was Courier New, I recognise it now.
Though it wasn't specified in editor.fontFamily (I modified it to "editor.fontFamily": "Consolas, Monospace, Segoe UI semilight").
Definitely it wasn't Consolas.

[Botan626]

But I still can't set monospace font. Where can I get it?

[rzhao271]

I believe that monospace is a font family, like serif, meaning the editor chooses whatever is considered the default monospace font on the system.

I confirmed that just Consolas and just Monospace work for me on Windows 11. Are you able to use Consolas on other applications such as Microsoft Word?

[Botan626]

Are you able to use Consolas on other applications such as Microsoft Word?

Yes, in MS Word I can choose Consolas, but I don't have monospace in it.

[Botan626]

With only monospace, the font is changed to monospace.

@albertosantini can you share your monospace font somewhere pls?
