Why does Fira Code font look blurry in VS Code?

Question

I want to use Fira Code in VS Code (Windows) and have already configured the font as explained in the instructions. Somehow, the font seems to look blurry. How can I fix that?

"editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code'",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,

Make sure to install TTF for Windows (and Linux) - not OTF. A blurry font likely indicates, that the wrong font type is chosen.

Check (Windows 10):

- Type "font" in search panel and select Font settings

- Filter to Fira Code and click the panel

- Check for each font face, that font file has ".ttf" extension

- If not (.otf), use the uninstall button and repeat font installation (now TTF).
