    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).

    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.

              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

                                I tried that for a while, but eventually chose Andale Mono. So far, there have been two surveys related to typeface: Survey Results - What is your favourite programming font?[^] Survey Results - What is your favourite programming font?[^]
