This is what my settings is looking like

This is the weird spacing between letters in terminal

Hi,

I cannot for the life of me figure out why my font in terminal has this weird spacing between letters? Its really bugging me and I tried to change the font in the settings to a monospace font (inconsolata), but that hasn't worked. Im really unsure how to fix this problem :(

I think those big spaces between the characters comes from your exotic chosen font (Inconsolata). So change only "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Inconsolata" back to the default font:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Monaco"

And look, to need the double-quote, and not some triple quote like in your screenshot!

This usually happens when the chosen font is not installed on your system. Try to revert the font settings by removing or commenting these two lines:

"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Inconsolata"
"Editor.fontFamily": "Source Code pro"

The default font is usually the default monospace font of your system.
