'My terminal in VS Code has a tiny font after installing zsh and changing font style

If you look at the VS Code terminal - its too tiny.

Here're the user settings that I have modified to create this result. I have searched how to change terminal fonts at VS Code, but I have followed all instructions pertaining to terminal.integrated.fontSize and this doesn't help at all - it only lengthens the line.

Please advise - thanks in advance.

I'm sure there are a few answers to this. But to solve mine, I had to change the terminal.integrated.fontFamily. Try these themes "Monaco" for instance. Add this line to your settings.

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Monaco"

If the font size does not change and only increases the letter spacing, try a few checks:

Save the settings and close VS Code editor and re-open a new one.
Try restarting VS Code.
The Font family theme that you select plays a huge role in how it renders.
Check this font family themes that you can test.

This is my current setting as far as basic visuals for CLI and the editor:

"explorer.confirmDelete": false,
"workbench.sideBar.location": "left",
"workbench.statusBar.visible": true,
"editor.fontFamily": "Monaco",
"editor.fontSize": 12,
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Hack",
"terminal.integrated.fontSize": 10,
"terminal.integrated.lineHeight":1,
"editor.tabSize": 2,

Again, these are checks you can do. I hope this helps cause it definitely took me a while to change my view of VS Code terminal above to the one I have below now:

Solution 2:^[2]

Code > Preferences > Settings > Features > Terminal. Here you can find Integrated: Font Size and change it to your desired size

Solution 3:^[3]

Go to Terminal >> Settings >>> font size as described in above screen shot and try updating desired font size and weight

Solution 4:^[4]

Set the terminal.integrated.fontsize in your user settings to override the original value. I have mine set to 20. I am old ;)

Solution 5:^[5]

Code > Preferences > Settings > Search "terminal font size" on the bar > change font size

Solution 6:^[6]

Also use FontSize Shortcuts, then

Use Ctrl + + for incrementation font size,

Use Ctrl + - for decrementation font size.

Solution 7:^[7]

Open the Command Palette

Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P MacOS: Command + Shift + P

Enter in "Open Settings (JSON)"

Add "terminal.integrated.fontSize" to the file.

All you have to do is add this line to the file and save: "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 16

Solution 8:^[8]

Just zoom the whole VS Code's UI in or out with CTRL + + or CTRL + - respectively and than adjust font sizes we do have control over in settings.json file.

Use Ctrl + + for incrementation font size,

Use Ctrl + - for decrementation font size.
