Experienced Behavior

not working yet in visual code, trying to use with: gh-dash

I've tried just about every combination I can think of in the font section:

Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Fira Code NFM'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Fira Code NF'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Fira Code Nerd Font'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Fira Code Nerd Font Mono'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'FiraCode NFM'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'FiraCode NF'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'FiraCode Nerd Font'
Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace, 'FiraCode Nerd Font Mono'

I've also tried the steps at this location: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/VS-Code-Instructions

'Fira Code'
Fira Code
{
    "workbench.editor.wrapTabs": true,
    "editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code",
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "monospace",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "editor.fontSize": 14
}

I'm having the same issue and have identical settings.

All six versions of Fira Code are installed on my machine.

Oddly, when Copilot predicts my next syntax, the predicrted code does in fact appear in fira code font with ligatures. But when I hit tab to accept the predicted code, the ligatures and font style disappear.

I ran into the same issue after upgrading to 15.6, but it went away after a reboot. 🤣

Don’t Nerd Font fonts have different name? I can’t speak for them, but Fira Code should work for packages downloaded from this repo

the creator of 'gh dash' uses Fira Code, but none of the icons are displaying for me, doesn't seem the font is loading:
