Independent font setting for notebook output

As far as know, there is no separate setting for notebook output font setting now.
(Correct me if I am mistaken about this)
I often want to reduce the font size and line space in the notebook output so that condensed information can be displayed.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for filing this issue, I don't think we have plans on supporting this at our end.
With the new Native Notebooks VS Code owns the output and the font settings.
Transferring issue to VS Code.

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• When I changed the font size of the editor, the font of the Output window was also changed, which is not good, but I also can't find a configuration to change the font of the Output window (#118411)
• Native Notebooks - Editor + Output font size do not match (Add setting to change output font size) (#119214)

Something to mention related here. Non-monospaced fonts can look really bad in dataframe output in particular. microsoft/vscode-jupyter#6546

Another issue is that the line spacing is inconsistent in code and the notebook output and the terminal. See this example:

Also, the font of Notebook output seems to be inconsistent on my platform: the font of the output (middle) is different from that of editor (top) and terminal (bottom):

I took this screenshot on VS Code 1.59 for Linux. No font settings are applied.
