    which font suits you best on your prefered coding editor? - is it one font for all ide's ? - doesn't really matter, the defaults work just fine ? - or are you really fussy about different fonts on diff applications :) ? me.. i'm not too picky, at least not usually, but for some reason, on VS.net, i just can't find something that actually works, hence the question :confused: Consolas [too dark], Lucida Console [too light/thin], Courier [mmm.. maybe?] :doh:

    I frankly don't care. I've never changed a font on a program in my life.

      I prefer the sans serif fonts when I'm working. I usually go for Arial.

          Consolas works nicely in VS2005. I also use it when displaying code on web pages. Not so good in programs that don't support ClearType though... I also love the default SciTE font scheme - never thought i could stand using proportional fonts while coding, but this changed my mind. Also looks fantastic when printed.

          It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

              Courier New 10 for everything except the "Solution/Workspace" view, Tahoma or Segoe UI for that.

                I use Arial, but I usually use a larger point size.

                                        Consolas works nicely in VS2005. I also use it when displaying code on web pages. Not so good in programs that don't support ClearType though... I also love the default SciTE font scheme - never thought i could stand using proportional fonts while coding, but this changed my mind. Also looks fantastic when printed.

                                        It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

                                        Consolas is very nice, if you have Visual Studio 2005 installed and/or are running Vista. Those of us in the trenches keeping the plumbing working in the real world with VS.NET 2003 and XP SP2 despise you out of glyph envy.

                                          :laugh: Waiting to push for an upgrade from VS6 'till VS2005 was released: one of the very few half-decent decisions i've made in recent years.
