Summary

The Claude Code VSCode extension chat panel uses a proportional font by default. When Claude outputs tables or aligned layouts, the rendering breaks because proportional fonts don't preserve column alignment.

Expected behavior

A setting such as `claudeCode.chatFontFamily` that allows users to specify a monospace font (e.g. Consolas, "Courier New", monospace) for the chat panel.

Suggested setting

```json "claudeCode.chatFontFamily": "Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace" ```

Workaround

Currently none available without third-party extensions like Custom CSS and JS Loader, which requires re-applying after every VSCode update.
