How do i setup font ligatures for Visual Studio Code?
(8 answers)
Closed 21 days ago.
I've seen that some people they have Visual Studio Code showing ≠ instead of a classic !=.
Does anyone know how one can enable this option?
I've tried to search for an option to enable this, but I didn't encounter anything in the code editor's settings or the internet.

It's called a ligature. You need to get a font that supports the specific ligatures that you want to have.
To find out how to set it up for Visual Studio Code, see How do i setup font ligatures for Visual Studio Code?.
To find such fonts, try googling programming fonts with ligatures. I won't list any because Stack Overflow is not for technology recommendations, and I don't want to seed bias or have to maintain a list when new ones become very popular.

Set Intellisense Hints to English in VSCode?

I've downloaded VSCode in German and I've set the display language to English as described here. However, the hints for Intellisense are still in German, which is not great for debugging and understanding suggestions/mistakes, since the breadth of information online on programming related issues is in English. I found this SO question that discusses how to do it in VS, but that is over 10 years old and I don't even have the "Tools" tab in VSCode.
How to set UI language in English and IntelliSense hint Language in another language in Visual Studio 2012 ?
I also tried to search for a setting by pressing "Ctrl+," using different keywords, but all I got was highlighting toggles for Intellisense that control highlighting for different code fragments. Using "Ctrl+Shift+P" and searching for "Intellisense" etc. didn't help either.
I really do not want to deinstall VSCode and reinstall it using an English installer just so I can fix this problem, especially since I'm only using VSCode to program C++ for Unreal Engine to begin with and whenever you change something slightly Unreal likes to break things in a fit of capriciousness.
Is there a straightforward way to fix this? Here's an image of what the Intellisense hints look like. I'd love it if they were in English.
To change the language of the Itellisense you should go to the Visual Studio Installer, modify the current installation, then go to "Language Packs" section of the installer and select English. After installing the language pack go inside the IDE: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> International Settings , select English and save changes.
For further details take a look at this link
Ok, so I wasn't able to set any options for this and the only thing that worked was going to a download page of an English installer and running that. I essentially updated my 1.7.3 version of VSCode to a 1.7.4 version using an English installer instead of a German one and that fixed the issue...
Is this stupid or am I stupid?

How to show the type of a variable in Visual Studio Code in the editor

I'm wondering which setting needs to be enabled in Visual Studio Code so that the variable type is viewed besides the variable declaration in the editor. On my Mac this works perfectly, on my Raspberry PI it does not work and I can't remember what I have done on my Mac to make this works. In my case I ask for Rust, but I guess this is a general setting in Visual Studio Code for all programming languages. The problem is that I have no clue what this editing / viewing feature is called and therefore it's kind of hard to search for this.
Below an example: the editor views the data type for square, which is in this sample [f64; 4].

Apple emojis are overlapped in readme.md file [duplicate]

Emoji rendered in Chrome have different widths than in other browsers
(8 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I was using emoji in my Github profile readme file. There I placed three emojis side by side. Like the following:
I would like to introduce myself as a self-taught 🎓 **Frontend Software Engineer** 💻💻💻
Now when I visit the readme from Mac, these emojis are overlapped. But in the Windows OS, it's working fine.
In the Mac:
In the Windows:
Can anybody tell me what's the reason behind that? And what's the workaround for this problem? Thanks in Advance.
The most obvious workaround is just to space out the emojis ie
I would like to introduce myself as a self-taught 🎓 **Frontend Software Engineer** 💻 💻 💻
and it will look like this on Windows-Chrome:

Visual Studio 2015 does not show Unicode last changed charrecter?

I'm using VS 2015 and TFS 2013 update 4.
I was able to see the name of person who last modified/updated and so on above
method classes but right now it just show author names which are in Unicode by question mark
What's the problem?
Updated:
Now all of Unicode charecters are gone even in c# files
Close all instances of Visual Studio.
Delete all the cached data in the folder %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio Services\6.0\
Restart Visual Studio and re-open the solution from TFS.
Please try:
1). Add the author name's language in Control Panel.
2). Open that file with "CSharp Editor with Encoding".
3). Reset VS to the default settings: devenv /ResetSettings
I found the solution
Tools ====> options ===> Environment ====> show settings for : CodeLens
and then changed Font type to tahoma.
I check vs on other machines the font on others were sets to calibri but Unicode characters displayed correctly
for more info you can go to

How do I change the font and color for CodeLens?
A: Go to Tools, Options, Environment, Fonts and Colors.

How to make Emacs 24 render font like Sublime Text 2?

The following graph shows a comparison between Sublime Text 2 (left) and Emacs 24 (right, installed from homebrew) on how they render texts on my Mac. They all use Monaco with normal weight, but as you can see, Emacs renders text in a somewhat aliased way. The problem didn't show up when I was using Emacs 23 on my Mac. I'm wondering if there is any way to fix it.
I fix the problem by using compiled Emacs For Mac OS X instead, and it renders texts well. The Emacs version I mentioned in the question was built from git repository, I guess that was the problem since it was too cutting edge.
Update:
The bug seems to be introduced in the latest Emacs build, see report #11484 #12996 #13106.

Just upgrade to Emacs 24.3, they fixed this bug.
