Try:
Make sure that Fira Code is installed to the machine accessing code-server in the browser, not the server (as it's the client browser that renders the fonts). I don't have any issues using Fira Code with code-server.

There is an alternative way to let your browser use fira code fonts, as long as you can use user style.
@import url(https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/tonsky/FiraCode@1.206/distr/fira_code.css);Maybe this can be done directly by code-server, so that there is no need for extra efforts on client/browser side.

@yw662 where would I make this change ?
HenrikSolver commentedon Dec 21, 2019
@gjrtimmer Install the stylus extension in chrome and add a "style" for the url where you access code-server. In my case it is http://penguin.linux.test:8080 (I am running code-server in crostini on a chromebook). Add the line @yw662 suggests to the style.

It seems that this trick doesn't work with 3.0.2. Maybe it is caused by #1470 .
