VSCode on Ubuntu not reading installed fonts












1















I've recently installed VSCode version 1.29.1-1542309157 using snap on Ubuntu and I've installed Fira Code and Hack.



But it doesn't seem to work. I've restarted the OS for a few times and it still doesn't work. It will only read the fonts that have been previously installed in the system like 'Ubuntu Mono'.



Here are the pictures:

          The issue seems to be the restrictions that snap imposes to apps installed with it. I had the exact same problem, then I uninstalled VSCode and reinstalled it with a .deb and everything just worked like a charm. There is an issue in the VSCode repo, in case you want to follow it: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/63194.



          By the way, thank you so much for mentioning you had installed it with snap. That's what made it click for me.
