[FIXED] How to make VS code's jupyter notebook's codetext bold?

Issue

I am trying to make code text on jupyter notebook on VS code be bold, but no matter how I tweak the settings.json file I can't seem to find a way to make it happen. As I have noticed, usual python code text in .py files is changing when i change settings.json file but .ipynb file is not reacting. For some reason if I use command palette to change themes jupyter notebook's code is changing color as well but the codetext itself is not becomming bold. Is there a way to solve this?

Solution

I'm a developer on the VSCode python extension. Currently our notebook editor is implemented as a webview (basically a way for extensions to put a webpage into VS Code's UI). We've tried to match things up as best as we can, but in this scenario we can't support many VS Code editor settings and features. This setting that you are changing is one of the ones that we don't support.

On the plus side, VS Code core team is currently in the process of adding build in notebook support. When we move over to this the notebook cells will be full real VS Code editor instances and will support this setting. This feature is currently in early preview (expect plenty of change and issues) if you right click on a ipynb file in VS Code Insiders and pick "open in preview Notebook Editor."
