Sorry guys to comment on a closed isssue but Fira Code my VSCode editor looks bold. I have tried all the font weights, it just doesn't change its weight. The only way to make it work for me is to uninstall the bold and regular font. Other editors show it correctly.

Research direction
No repository file, entry point, or test is named; the report only identifies VSCode, the Fira Code font, an attached screenshot, and different editor behavior. Start by reproducing the bold rendering in VSCode with the reported font installation and compare it with the other editors mentioned. Done would require a confirmed, repository-actionable cause and a regression check, neither of which is specified here.
