Default withDocs=true sets FONTCONFIG_FILE, makes code . not find my font

[sgraf812]

If I open VS Code in a ghc.nix shell via nix-shell ghc.nix --run "code .", the font is broken. That's because $FONTCONFIG_FILE is set for building docs. Ideally, I would like it not having to (unset FONTCONFIG_FILE; code .). Is there maybe another way to support both opening VS Code and building the docs?

Hey @sgraf812 ,

Have you tried to open VSCode outside of the ghc.nix environment and use the Nix Environment Selector plugin instead to load ghc.nix?

This works fine for me.

@supersven's suggestion sounds like the right approach to me. @sgraf812, if this works for you could you open an MR to mention this in the readme?

Unfortunately, I'm not using VS Code at the moment, so I can't tell for sure. But it seems plausible that the suggestion will work.
