#### [](#1-make-sure-the-font-your-editor-displays-is-actually-fira-code)1\. Make sure the font your editor displays is actually Fira Code

Easiest way is to compare the shape of `@` `&` and `r` with the reference image:

### [](#known-issues)Known issues

#### [](#hinting-issues)Hinting issues

*   Uneven spacing in `===` and `!==` at certain font sizes, esp. on Windows [#405](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/405) [#243](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/243) [#119](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/119) [#114](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/114)

#### [](#powerline-characters-are-of-slightly-wrong-size)Powerline characters are of slightly wrong size

Unfortunately this can’t be fixed for all terminals because they have different ways of calculate font metrics. See [this comment](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/44#issuecomment-187305276)

Issues: [#426](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/426) [#131](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/131) [#44](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/44)

#### [](#some-ligatures-work-while-some-dont)Some ligatures work while some don’t

This is an issue with your editor and how it handles tokenization/syntax highlighting. Nothing can be done in a font to work around that. Report your problem to the corresponding editor’s issue tracker.

*   All ligatures with dashes in Visual Studio (not Code) [#422](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/422) [#395](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/395) [#360](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/360) [#273](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/273) [#259](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/259) [#233](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/233) [#220](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/220) [#196](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/196) [#181](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/181) [#157](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/157) [#99](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/99) [#43](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/43) [#32](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/32)

*   Atom/VS Code are known to break certain ligatures in certain syntaxes [#361](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/361) [#353](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/353) [#348](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/348) [#328](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/328) [#326](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/326) [#235](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/235)

#### [](#corrupted-font-in-intellij-on-windows)Corrupted font in IntelliJ on Windows

Go to `C:\Windows\Fonts` with `cmd.exe`, find and delete everything having Fira in the file name. It’s important that you use terminal commands, not Explorer.

Issues: [#589](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/589) [#581](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/581) [#398](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/398) [IDEA-159901](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-159901)

#### [](#anything-related-to-italics)Anything related to italics

Fira Code does not have italics at all. If you see italicized glyphs it means your editor is “faking” them.
