[!IMPORTANT]
For Cursor (and some other VS Code forks), the marketplace doesn't stay up to date with the current version of Fontic. Please use the Releases page.
Features
🔤 Replace the VS Code UI font with any installed font
📐 Control font-stretch for variable-width fonts
♻️ Reload the font without manually editing files
🔙 Revert the title bar style if it breaks
Usage
Install the extension.
Open Settings and set fontic.font to your desired font family:
"fontic.font": "Pragmata Pro Mono"
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run Fontic: Enable.
Restart VS Code when prompted.
[!NOTE]
You can safely ignore the notification: "Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please reinstall." — this is expected because the extension modifies an internal VS Code file.

Known Limitations
The extension patches VS Code's internal workbench.html file, which triggers a "corrupt installation" warning. This is cosmetic and harmless.
A restart is required after every font change.
If a VS Code update resets the workbench file, you'll need to re-run Fontic: Enable.
