Fix Icons Not Displaying in Terminal

By using custom prompts like Starship in VS Code, some icons end up missing using default config & fonts. We can fix that, by installing and using a nerd font.

Step 1: Download Fonts

• MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf

• MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf

• MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf

Step 2: Install Fonts

Double click, and choose "Install" to install these fonts system-wide.

Step 3: Configure VS Code

Open Settings in VS Code, and search for terminal.integrated.fontFamily using search box, and set MesloLGS NF as font in Font Family section.
