@daiyam tried it, No changes were observed, is it an OS issue, prehaps ?

Check the name, sometimes the name can change between JS and on the system.

What's the font?

jet brains mono

Any update or fix for this? I'm attempting to use JetBrains Mono Nerd Font and I've also tried every variation I can think of ("JetBrainsMono", "JetBrains Mono", "JetBrains Mono NF", "JetBrainsMono NF", "JetBrains Mono Nerd Font", "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font"). Is there a variation I'm missing that should work?

On my mac, no issue when using the font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads and the setting "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font",.

How have installed the font? From an AUR or the ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd package?

Turns out my system was actually missing the ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd package. I thought it was installed locally because my terminal apparently includes it.
