I just changed the "terminal.integrated.fontFamily" value. My issue was that underscores were not displayed using DejaVu Sans Mono. With other fonts they are displaying, not sure if it would help to fix your problem guys, but sure is worth to give it a try.

The variable width font that I'm partial to now renders like this.

@imgss see #35660
@jashworth see #35681

@viktorku what's in your settings.json file?

In 1.17.1 the rendering changed (it's somewhat blurrier and smaller fontsize - see top comment for comparison) but the bug prevails:

@Tyriar This also happens for a fresh code instance (without settings.json in the project's root .vscode). My User Settings are like this:
