      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.

                Courier New 10 pt. Maybe I'l try Garamond for awhile. I really like that font. "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"

                    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.

                            I used Profont for a while, then I found Proggy[^]. Best font ever ;) --- There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                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! -
