Can't set font weight in VS Code

[nilsbunger]

Using the Jetbrains Mono font (v 2.304), I can set the font size, family, and spacing in VS Code on Mac. However, changes to font weight have no effect. It works with the "NL" version of the font, but not the base font.

All the weights look the same in the base font. The text of settings.json should be changing with the font weight in these screenshots:

When I inspect the font in the Font Book, it looks fine, all the weights are present.

Try the PostScript name without the "editor.fontWeight" property:

"editor.fontFamily": "JetBrainsMono-Bold"

I only have the Nerd Font versions installed on my computer, hence the NF in the font name, but the way of finding the PostScript name is the same:
