1I don't think you only need ONE font. You can add the font at the beginning of the default fonts. When this font doesn't contain a specific character, VSCode will use the second font automatically.– rintCommented Mar 7 at 10:29

You have two quotes around the font name.
Change the line to this:
"editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code",
Still not working? Follow these steps:
To use the font in VS Code, ensure it is installed first.
- Download a font file, such as this OTF version of FiraCode-Regular
- Open the font preview by double-clicking the font file. Make sure it is the font you want.
- Click Install. Provide administrator permissions if requested.
- Open your user settings in VS Code (press Ctrl + Comma)
- Change the Font Family setting to
"Fira Code"
This popped up on my feed in 2022, I guess due to an edit, but there is a little more to the story than what has been said here.
Where the answer is correct:
Adding the setting
"editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code"to yoursettings.jsonfile will add Fira Code
...but the entire character set of Fira Code is far from equipped.
if you look at the docs HERE you will see a whole bunch of different characters & ligatures available, and to use those you have to add the following setting:
"editor.fontLigatures":"'zero', 'ss02', 'ss03', 'ss04', 'ss05', 'calt'",
For more on VSCode & Stylistic sets, @SEE The "2019 October Release Notes" - #stylistic-sets.
The setting above is an example of a configuration that is popular, what is added to the "editor.fontLigatures" setting can be customized.
Fira has good documentation for the stylistic sets & ligatures that can be enabled, but I like the list that is posted HERE - this list is direct and straight to the point.
