Also, vscode font size outside editor (tabs, menus, etc) too small, - this is not from my gtk settings.
For example, this is a screenshot of working emacs - all fonts are looks well.

I'm working on Void Linux, VSCode ran from downloaded archive.
Also, I use Chromium and have no any troubles.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes
