How do I install Fira Code to R-Studio on Windows? - rstudio

According to the R-Studio blog, R-Studio 1.1+ now supports ligatures.
I installed R-Studio version 1.1.442 on Windows.
According to the R-Studio blog, and the Fira Code project instructions, I should be able to select Fira as follows:
Go to Tools > Global Options > Appearance
Select "Fira Code" as Editor Font, and check "Use Ligatures".
Hit "OK" and enjoy
I do not have the ability to select 'Fira Code.'
I downloaded the most recent Fira Code release, and noticed a TTF folder in the zip.
Where do I install the Fira Code font so that I can use Fira Code on R-Studio (Windows)?

I hope you still find this helpful. Try installing the .otf files instead.
Try restarting Rstudio, or if that does not work, try restarting your computer. Fira Code should now appear as an option in Editor Font.

I just dealt with a similar problem, but re-starting R Studio did the trick for me. I'm posting this in case anybody else deals with something similar

Is it possible to use Nerd Fonts as the font for Terminals in Visual Studio?

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 Nerd Font, specifically CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font, for my Terminal. This is so Oh-My-Posh will have the necessary icons to display correctly.
However, it seems that Visual Studio does not allow Nerd Fonts as a font for the Terminal. If you look in the attached screenshots below, you can see that the setting’s dropdown does not list Nerd Fonts as options. Curiously, they are available as a choice for the Text Editor.
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.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
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.
I also have problems with the fact that "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" and other fonts are not available for the terminal, but "JetBrainsMono NF" is available for some reason and the icons in the visual studio console are displayed correctly.

Installation appears to be corrupt [Unsupported] - Visual Studio Code

I have a problem with my Visual Studio Code. I have a popup that appears in the bottom right corner, to inform that my VS Code is damaged. So this week I uninstalled my VS Code from Windows. I then went to the official Visual Studio Code website to get the installation executable. Once done, I do the installation, everything works again correctly, then 5 min after, there is a new popup.
Is there a solution that allows me to fix this?
I have a pc on Windows 10 64bits.
Short answer - try vs-code extension Fix VSCode Checksums.
After installation, open command palette and run 'Fix Checksums: Apply'. Now, just restart your vs-code.
or
Alternatively, open command palette and write 'Developer: Reload Window'.
That's it.
This fixes the issue for me as well (If you ever have any problems/doubts and wanted to undo what you just did, open command palette and execute 'Fix Checksums: Restore').
Details - I was having the same issue after installing 'SynthWave 84 theme' and 'Enable Neon Dreams' (that glow effect), as mentioned by answers above.
I searched for it and even though vs-code documentation suggested to re-install the VS Code (as mentioned in the second answer), I was willing to search for another possible solution.
so, I found this section on 'SynthWave 84' extension official page.
thus, just wanted to add another possibility to this question, which may help someone.
I will be following this and if it causes any issue in VS Code updates or anything related, I will provide an update.
JFYI - I am on macOS Catalina, but I am sure it will be the same for windows as well and vs-code September 2020 (version 1.50)
Maybe you installed an unsupported theme or extension, i.e. JS CSS loader and themes like SynthWave '84, this theme and extension are not supported by Visual Studio Code or change protected files that VScode uses.
I got this issue after installing "SynthWave 84" extension.
Official documentation is recommending the reinstallation of VSCode!
However, Took the following steps to resolve this issue as I never wanted to reinstall VSCode!
Uninstall "SynthWave 84" extension and this restarts VSCode
Restart VSCode manually again by closing all the VSCode projects
Update VSCode (Click on Settings -> Check for Updates) and this restarts VSCode.
Voila, the issue got resolved without having to reinstall VSCode.
It is possible your anti-virus software is removing necessary vscode files.
Try navigating to your anti-virus software settings and
finding the quarantined files.
If there are vscode files listed restore them.

Visual Studio 2013 Language Pack Install Fails: Program Compatibility Mode is on (Windows 10)

I had to install VS2013 on a Windows 10 VM (VMWare).
My prblem similar to this question, which helped me before: Visual Studio 2013 Install Fails: Program Compatibility Mode is on (Windows 10)
The solution was to rename the VS installer (in my Case to "vs_premium.exe").
But now I also need to install a VS2013 language pack.
The language pack fails by the same error, but it is named correctly ("vs_langpack.exe"), so that the "old solution" from the named thread doesn't work in this case.
Change file name to "vssdk_full.exe"
I know this question is old but just ran into a similar problem and none of the SO answers so far helped, so maybe this solution helps someone else: I had run the compatibility troubleshooter at some point in the past, but there was no compatibility tab under properties to reset compatibility mode, nor did disabling the troubleshooter help.
It turned out the troubleshooter had installed a directory for Microsoft Visual Studio under Program Files (in addition to the default in Program Files (x86)). Deleting this directory solved the problem.

How to fix missing file in visual studio cordova blank new app project

I am having a problem with my codova plugin and I can't really run anything or write code.
What happens:
None of the additional files are shown in the solution explorer when I open a new cordova project. (There should be several files and folders according to the manual.) -- see picture included.
I can not build/run (probably because of 1).
I am using Visual Studio enterprise 2015 with the latest updates.
I tried going through the manuals and re-installed twice, nothing helped.
Please help :)
Thanks,Isan.
Open developer command prompt and run devenv /setup. See if it can help to fix the issue.
If above doesn't work, please
go to control panel-> Programs and Features -> double click to launch the installation program of Visual Studio 2015.
Then select "Modify" and deselect the tools for Apache Cordova to remove it first.
After #2, repeat #1 & #2 but this time please select the tools for apache Cordova to reinstall it.

Monokai Theme for multiple IDE's

Does anyone know of a good source for finding themes for multiple IDE's, I'm specifically looking for a good Monokai version to use but wouldn't mind others that have a darker background. I use Android Studio (which is based off IntelliJ), Visual Studio 2013, and Xcode for mobile development as well as TextWrangler and Navicat for other work and like to use themes that are similar within each IDE. I did find one Repo on GitHub Base16 Theme but I'm trying to find more themes or builders like this that can spit out the same theme for various IDE's that I use for development.
Vim: https://github.com/tomasr/molokai
Xcode https://github.com/b0ti/xcode-monokai-revisited
emacs: https://github.com/oneKelvinSmith/monokai-emacs
All you need to do is: search on github
Someone has created a version of the theme for Android Studio.
