vim /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.main.css
add to .editor-container section
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
Visual Studio Code now allows you to set this in the setting pane. 👍
@MichielDeMey that setting seems to be available for Mac OS only.
Any updates on this?
Looks like workbench-> Font Aliasing has been removed.. Any suggestions?
For those willing to disable anti-aliasing/smooth edges/cleartype on VS Code as of today, there's no official option inside VS Code program. Instead, I have found this method that works for me and it's thanks to this article: https://medium.com/kasun-kodagoda/fix-text-becomes-blurry-when-vs-code-application-loses-focus-issue-on-windows-d95697b2f927
Here are the steps:

Right-click on VS Code program and go to Proprieties.
In the "target" section of the app, add the following lines: --disable-gpu --enable-use-zoom-for-dsf
Apply the changes and that's it.
I hope it's useful.
Im on Windows and there is no anti-aliasing option like on mac OS. But I have installed Font Awesome, its exactily the same as the default VSCode font but includes anti-aliasing. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Janne252.fontawesome-autocomplete

@ivanstepanovftw did not work in vs code 1.102.3 on windows 11.
also --disable-gpu --enable-use-zoom-for-dsf did not work too, but maybe i should play with zoom?.
i've using liberation mono font for coding because it is same sized and good fills in the drawing dimensions.
i very like sublime's font because it is non antialised, turned by "font_options": ["no_antialias"]

Just supplementing @kurdtpage instructions
However, mine was already enabled. Having VS Code and Visual Studio viewing the same file on the same monitor here, Visual Studio definitely renders the font (Source Code Pro in my case) less "blurry".
