@bpasero If possible, please unlock the conversation in #10144. I noted it has gone read-only now.

Continuing here since #10144 is read only. I still consider this a problem. We have changed now to a behavior that is much harder to override. It might be a great change for 90% of the users, but it's quite annoying for the other 10% of us. I am still on the old version of VS Code until this can be properly resolved.

I think it could also be resolved by a custom fontconfig config file. Might look into it some day. Of course, #519 would be the long-term fix.
