Proportional fonts doesn't provide the same visual cues as a non-proportional font does. Lines of the same number of characters does not have the same visual lengths...

Yes. And then?

I'm my opinion, it's easier to spot syntax errors if I have those visual cues.

ClearType looks like crap on my (TFT!) monitor, I don't know why. I tried anyway, but what looks bad looks bad.

It's just another example of MS copying off of Apple, but they did a lousy job with it. And yeah, I had to. :-D

It's all a matter of habits and preferences. I like to have a more readable font, especially at small sizes. I'm used to MS Reference Sans Serif 8pt and I like it. :)

Well that's because the different technologies of manufacturing TFT. But there's a solution. It's called Clear Type Tunner. Just go to this page[^] and download it. It will let you customize the settings for Clear Type.

Thanks, after downloading I found out I already have it installed :) setting to "lightest", makes some fonts OK, but others still remain washed out. I guess I'll have to stay with the pixel fest.

Tree in C# || Fold With Us! || sighistI'm still using Courrier New. I switched over to Fixedsys mainly because my monitor is going bad and is getting blurry as hell. I'm still on CRTs btw.

I stopped using fonts a few months ago - I now program by sense of smell.

Tree in C# || Fold With Us! || sighistI like DejaVu Sans Mono. Tried Consolas, it was ok I guess, but went back to DejaVu.

I'm now somehow relieved to know that somebody else besides me is using Fixedsys for coding...
And of course, I still use it for Notepad. :)

I tried, but the characters T and Z smell the same, I always mixed them up. :rolleyes:
