Which will make code editor look nice, but everything else in the VSCode UI - ugly. The solution to that is to modify the CSS for the VSCode itself, edit `/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.main.css` file (you may want to reformat it) and add the following:
```css
.monaco-shell {
...
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important;
}
```
Here is one line "patch":
```
perl -i.bak -pe 's/\.monaco-shell{(.*?)}/.monaco-shell{\1;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important;}/g' /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.main.css

[Here is the script that I keep more or less updated when VSCode changes the CSS](https://gist.github.com/kika/2b5a3ccf065a251a6a8cbcdca7d823cc)
- Windows + Visual Studio 2015: works mostly okay, but `->` ligature doesn't work. That's a [known problem of WPF text renderer](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/259#issuecomment-243422144).
- Windows + ConEmu: no ligatures at all. Powerline stuff works okay though, so font is usable even without ligatures. I'd recommend to set font cell width manually to 8 (otherwise it'll have problems determining proper places for line wrapping and rendering Far Manager UI): **Settings****Main****Main console font** group → select **Cell: 8** from the selector.
