title: Cannot install font on vscode so that zsh displays properly (using linux manjaro)
body: <p>This question help me solve the problem when I was using ubuntu:</p>
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49096501/my-terminal-in-vscode-has-a-tiny-font-after-installing-zsh-and-changing-font-sty">My terminal in VSCode has a tiny font after installing zsh and changing font style?</a></p>
  <p>I cannot make it work when using manjaro. In fact after installing <code>Menlo for Powerline</code> font my terminal looks like this:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/earyD.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/earyD.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a>
  (picture looks blurry because I reduced its size)</p>
  <p>The font I am trying to use is <code>Menlo for Powerline</code> and it can be downloaded from here: <a href="https://github.com/abertsch/Menlo-for-Powerline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/abertsch/Menlo-for-Powerline</a></p>
  <h2>This is what I am doing:</h2>
  <pre><code>cd ~/Downloads
  git clone https://github.com/abertsch/Menlo-for-Powerline.git
  
  # for some reason I do not have this directory
  # I have also perform the same steps using the directory /usr/share/fonts
  mkdir ~/.fonts
  
  # copy all the fonts to the new directory just created
  cp ~/Downloads/Menlo-for-Powerline/* ~/.fonts/
  
  # make sure fonts are in here
  cd ~/.fonts
  ls
  
  # update fonts cache
  fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts
  </code></pre>
  <p>I then set setting <code>terminal.integrated.fontFamily</code> to</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;terminal.integrated.fontFamily&quot;: &quot;Menlo for Powerline&quot;,
  </code></pre>
  <p>when I do that vscode shows warning saying</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;The terminal only supports monospace fonts. Be sure to restart VS
  Code if this is a newly installed font.&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p><strong>I restart VS Code and the font does not work still! I guess my problem is that I am placing the font in some incorrect place. Ubuntu places its fonts on ~/.fonts but what about manjaro?</strong></p>
