Hello 👋🏻 geeks @olfek , @rzhao271 , @kiriharu , @VSCodeTriageBot

I too face the same problem.
After rebooting the system I was unable to see the JetBrains Font in VS Code
But I tried installing font for all users like this ⬇️
Issue was solved - #173543

In windows 11:

Select all in JetBrains font folder
Right click and got to show more options
There you can find Install for all users
Click install for all users

Windows Font Cache Service

It may be a bug in the Windows Font Cache Service because following the instructions here (https://thegeekpage.com/how-to-delete-the-font-cache-on-windows-10/) temporarily fixes it until the next reboot.
