# Your code font, one click away in VS Code

CodeFont scans your installed fonts, verifies they work for code, and applies the one you choose to the **editor or terminal**. No JSON editing, no telemetry.

[Install from Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=codefont.codefont) [Browse the font catalog](/best-coding-fonts)

## Every font verified before it reaches your list.

## Built for Real Code Font Workflows

CodeFont verifies what is installed, keeps your favorites close, and writes the right setting for your **editor or terminal**.

### Verified Monospace Detection

Checks printable ASCII coverage and character widths before a font is listed. Icon, symbol, and proportional fonts are filtered out.

### Font Explorer

Favorites, Installed Fonts, and Recommended Fonts live in one tree. The active font is marked with a check.

### Editor Font Settings

Set family, size, weight, line height, and letter spacing in one view, plus fallback mode. No **settings.json** editing.

### Terminal Font Settings

Configure the integrated terminal independently, or choose **Inherit from editor font**. Values are written to **terminal.integrated.\***.

### Status Bar and Commands

The status bar shows the current font and size; click it to open the picker. Rescan fonts, reset settings, and change size from the Command Palette.

### Fast, Local Rescans

Reads every face in **.ttc**/**.otc** files, follows symlinked font folders, reuses a 24-hour cache, and rescans only changed folders. Runs locally with no telemetry.

## Your Font Workflow, Inside VS Code

Everything lives in the CodeFont panel in your Activity Bar. Pick a font, tune it, and get back to code.

## Up and Running in Three Steps

No config files, no guesswork. Install CodeFont and let it handle the **font settings**.

1

### Install CodeFont

Install from the VS Code Marketplace. Requires VS Code 1.100 or newer and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

2

### Open the CodeFont Panel

Click the CodeFont icon in the Activity Bar. Font Explorer shows Favorites, Installed Fonts, and Recommended Fonts.

3

### Apply and Tune

Click a font to apply it. Adjust size, weight, line height, and spacing in Editor Font Settings or Terminal Font Settings.

## What CodeFont 0.1.0 Actually Does

No ratings, no testimonials. Just the behavior you can verify in the extension.

### Verified before listed

A font must cover at least 76 of 95 printable ASCII characters, with letters and digits sharing one advance-width cluster. Metadata is only a fallback.

### Editor and terminal stay independent

Changes are written to global **editor.\*** and **terminal.integrated.\*** settings. The terminal can inherit the editor font, and each has its own reset.

### Built for real font folders

Reads all faces in **.ttc**/**.otc** collections, follows symlinked directories, caches for 24 hours, and rescans only changed folders.

## One panel for editor and terminal fonts.

CodeFont 0.1.0 is free, MIT-licensed, and runs entirely on your machine. No account, no telemetry.
