Afternoon!
First, I hope everyone is well.
I am currently experimenting with Visual Studio [Version: 17.5.0 Preview 4.0] (to clarify, not Visual Studio Code) and was hoping to utilize a

Regarding to solve it myself, I have scoured the Visual Studio documentation and tried my best Google-fu to find any results. Disappointingly most search engines return results concerning Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code.
Before I submit a report to the developers of Visual Studio, I would like to cover all my bases and make sure I am not missing something.

Wild guess here. They might still be on conhost which doesn't work with OTF files and needs TTF. So, theoretically, installing the same font as TTF could do the trick. You'll need to do a manual install from the Nerd Font repo in this case as they don't ship the TTF files inside their zip files.
