Just altered my VS2010 Fonts and Colours settings to Comic Sans. Everything still compiles and I get a joyous impression of my code. You've just opened Pandora's box. Not literally, mind.

Gary Wheeler

I don't know which is the worse :wtf:, using a typeface like Comic Sans or using a proportional font for editing code.

You should see what it does for NHibernate xml mapping files. I might have to limit myself to an hour a day. Maybe the hour after lunch, like a digestif perhaps.

This was exactly what I was thinking about :-D

Brilliant idea. I'll be using pink as the foreground-color though :-D

I use Andale Mono as my choice of mono-spaced typeface. When I use it in an email to others on the team it is replaced by some curley/scripty kind of typeface -- this could be what's happening.

Gary Wheeler

Nope, we use :shudder: Lotus Notes :throw-up-in-mouth: for e-mail.

Send emails back using Wingdings and Webdings (be sure to switch between them within each mail), and include a lot of pictures and a background-MIDI file. And use the blink tag whenever you want to highlight something (instead of bolding or italicizing it) If you can't beat them, join them. If he can't join you, beat him :suss:

Where's the <marquee> tag when you need it?

I have unilaterally BANNED Comic Sans in the office. There is a stern talking too, and the waggling of an admonishing finger, for anyone caught using it. (Repeat offenders get an interview without coffee).

Speak softly and carry a big finger.

Dalek Dave

Sounds awfully like a Euphemism!

I read all emails as plain-text problem solved.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Sounds like he found a good way to avoid being contacted.

What's wrong with a proportional font? I've taken to doing that. If you want fixed alignment for things (which is quite rare) you can use tabs, and it's a lot prettier.

Gary Wheeler

My coding style isn't amenable to using a proportional font.

Come on now. It's not that bad.
