Unfortunately a brilliant and predictable play by Microsoft following its established "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" doctrine.
This beautiful feature is created by the GitHub team and is only available on VS Code, strengthening its lead over the other editors.
This fact has led me to look more closely at Commit Mono, suggested by nvartolomei in his comment (this article). I love the texture healing idea, and that font looks to be more open and easier to use in other environments.
It's a font, you can use it wherever you want...
It does seem to only be tested in VS Code, though. It "works" everywhere (except some terminal emulators, which don't see it as monospaced), but you may have trouble enabling all of the features everywhere.
Using multiple fonts isn't available in VS Code right now, not without doing something hacky with 3rd party custom CSS plugin. It isn't available anywhere without doing something hacky (setting different fonts for italic and bold in the terminal, for example).
I have never and don't ever intend to use VS Code. If you're anti Microsoft, just say so.
