In the case of some fonts it's hard to know what name it must be typed; in my case (Windows) the setting that works in settings.json file is wrapping the font name in single quotation marks:

{
  "editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code', 'Fira Code Retina', 'Fira Code Light', 'Courier New', monospace"
}

Doesn't actually require you to restart your Vs code of system if after you install the font you have restart your system at some point
