thank you very much.Tested on

Also, to use as a fallback font for Consolas create this font config file:

~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/20-consolas.conf
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <description>USe Yahei Consolas when Consolas is requested</description>

  <match target="pattern">
  <test qual="any" name="family"><string>Consolas</string></test>
  <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>YaHei Consolas Hybrid</string></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

Worked even in 2023!! Thanks ❤️

Fun fact, if you are on RHEL, Rocky, Fedora or Oracle Linux,
the same commands work as long as you run :
sudo yum install xorg-x11-font-utils

How do i apply this on xfce4-terminal? the terminal only shows fc-list :mono fonts

Working is confirmed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
VSCode should have 'YaHei Consolas Hybrid' not 'consolas' as font setting.

the tilde character looks bad :( switched off because of it...
not the same in the regular consolas font though.

Works perfectly fine on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Thanks a lot!
