I’ve got in trouble after adding the JuliaMono fonts along the description given in  
[https://cormullion.github.io/pages/2020-07-26-JuliaMono/#windows](https://cormullion.github.io/pages/2020-07-26-JuliaMono/#windows)  
The result within the terminal window looks like (all text are in monospace):

 ![Monospaced Terminal](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/0/e/0e0dd2aab748cfe510d0d8af20a2382415a8c48c.png)  
How can I get rid of the monospace and back to the variable-width font?  
My JSON settings are:

Moreover how can I change the Julia prompt from „julia\>“ to e.g. „v1.5\> (v$version) or „\>“ within VsCode?

Pretty sure you need to use `JuliaMono` instead of `JuliaMono-Regular`.

After changing “terminal.integrated.fontFamily”: “JuliaMono-Regular” to “terminal.integrated.fontFamily”: “JuliaMono” the appearance is still the same  
Nevertheless, thank you for your.quick response.

Are you sure you properly installed JuliaMono? I have

```julia
    "editor.fontFamily": "'JuliaMono', 'Source Code Pro', Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",

```

in the settings on my Windows machine and that works fine for both the editor and the terminal.

Again thank you for prompt suggestion. I made a copy from your setting and it works!  
Do you an idea to change the standard julia prompt:“ **julia\>** ” to “ **\>** ”?

What is that entered into? I thought I downloaded all the fonts, but I don’t think I have JuliaMono

You can use OhMyREPL.jl for that.

Just open the settings and search for “editor font”.

After running in vscode:

using OhMyREPL  
OhMyREPL.output\_prompt!(“\>”, :red)

the prompt is still **julia\>**

That is the _output_ prompt:

```julia
julia> OhMyREPL.output_prompt!(">", :red)

julia> 1+1
>2

julia> "hello"
>"hello"

```

I’m also pretty sure there’s a bug where we print the wrong prompt under certain circumstances. Should be fixed in the next release though…

I was wrong! I swapped input and output  
OhMyREPL.input\_prompt!(“\>”, :green) do the job

Thank you for your reply

I’m not sure where that is, I found “font family”
