    I find Crazy Killer Font[^] in red on a white background to be most soothing when looking at VB, Python, or PHP code ...

    For a second I thought you were serious!

      Just changed my font in Visual Studio 2022 from Consolas to Cascadia Code. It feels bigger and brighter! (Also just noticed I was "zooming" my text without knowing it ... thought it only applied to the designer).

      Consolas, because I am unoriginal. I will have to check out Cascadia Code, for sure.

          I really like coding ligatures so I used Fira Code for a while and then 3 or 4 years ago switched to Cascadia Code. It's one of the things I install straight away on my new computers, together with the basic toolbox of programs I use daily

            I can just imagine staring at a 100-line code block function written in Crazy Killer... Selete and start over jumps to mind. :laugh:

              That's the idea. You throw away the VB, PHP, or Python code and write it again in a proper language that doesn't use Crazy Killer. :-D

                    my main requirement is the ability to easily distinguish 1Il|0Oo which on this site does not appear to be the case . Cascadia Code does the trick . also i like the multi-character combinations such as != etc . this is why i was using Fira Code until to my surprise Cascadia Code worked fine .

                        Yes ... the "smart characters" are refreshing (the => becomes an "arrow"; 3+ "=" in a row and you get "double bars"; etc.)

                            I use Liberation Sans 9-point Bold as the default in a form. There's also a Mono version for code. Being visually-handicapped these days, I need BOLD for everything, and simply making the font a larger size just doesn't cut-it for me. I need the thicker strokes of Bold to distinguish text from the background.

                                          Just changed my font in Visual Studio 2022 from Consolas to Cascadia Code. It feels bigger and brighter! (Also just noticed I was "zooming" my text without knowing it ... thought it only applied to the designer).

                                          "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
