VS6 - Courier 10pt VS7 - Courier New 9pt. But having seen Ian Darling's message above ^, I think I'll switch to Lucida Console.

Woohoo, a convert! :-D I think the point should be made that almost any sans-serif font is easier to read on-screen than a serif one, but serif fonts are usually better on printed media. That's why I use Lucida Console rather than Courier - I find it much less difficult to look at on screen, and it's the one that turns up on just about every Windows box.

You know, sort of like taking a big scary huge monster with fangs and stuff, and giving it a clown mask and one of those water squirters that looks like a flower. :-)

Courier New, 9 pt. I've tried the other fixed-width fonts, and it just doesn't look like code unless it's Courier New.

One of my friend told me that Verdana font type is making calm people while coding. I was using it about 2 weeks but when I saw Proggy font, I start to use Proggy for VS6 C++. I'm using Lucida Console for VS.NET C#. Thanks for all joining my topic... - When in doubt, push a pawn! -
