    When I'm copying stuff from VS Code - Clipboard history is showing "square" placeholders -> see screenshot.

    My guess is that it's not using / has access to system font I'm using ( I'm using one of the Iosevka variations -GitHub . It's OSS font for coding/terminal)
    I don't see an option to set font in Parallels toolsbox either.
    It's annoying -because I can't see what I'm copying - I have to guess which clipboard thing is what. :D

    For some reason, forum didn't let me paste the screenshot the first time.

    I am also using the Iosevka font using VSCode and I am also encountering this problem. I am also encountering this issue with other custom fonts I've installed to my system. They appear exactly as pictured in @konung's image. The boxes are highlighted the correct colors, however.

    System-installed fonts work fine.
    Fonts I installed myself using MacOS Font Book do not.
    other applications work fine. Only Visual Studio Code has this issue.

    unrelated, but my terminal font is white, yet it show up as black in clipborad history and is hard to read
