In my case, i was struggling for proper step by step solution for ubuntu 18, so i am writing what worked for me:

  1. Download this font github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/re... . Create a folder named "Meslo" and extract all the fonts inside it.
  2. Move this folder to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
  3. Run this command sudo fc-cache -vf /usr/share/fonts/
  4. In settings.json of vscode add this line "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGM Nerd Font",
  5. Save and Restart if necessary, it should work. Done.

Type fc-list | grep -i "meslo" to know the names of other fonts so you can use other fonts in the terminal.
