VSCode Font Alignment for Chinese¶

Context¶

When entering both Chinese and English in VSCode, there is subtle misalignment. About every 4 Chinese characters introduces an offset of half char.

Per https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45360, it's more likely the issue in the selected fonts. Consolas and "Courier New" might be supporting Chinese (or Unicode) characters with subtle misalignments.

Problem¶

How to resolve the font alignment issue?

Solution¶

Use a font that strictly render CJK characters with the width of 2 latin characters.

Currently the solution is to use "Inconsolata" as Issue 45360 suggested.
