Fonts are binary files that VS Code doesn't know how to open.

If you're trying to preview the font, both Windows and macOS have this built in. Right click on the font in the VS Code explorer and select "Reveal in File Explorer" or "Reveal in Finder", then double click the font file in the Explorer / Finder window that opens. It should open a preview.

If you want to edit the font you'll need an external program like FontForge.
