I know this is somewhat an old question but I found myself on this thread when I was trying to set up operator mono on my Windows machine and had to spend sometime on it to make it work but if anyone else is looking for this it turns out it's as simple as the following on VS Code:

1. Install Operator Mono Dark Theme
2. Add the following to your settings.json:

"workbench.colorTheme": "Operator Mono Dark Theme",
"editor.fontFamily": "Operator Mono Light"

and that should do it.
