Choice of Font for VS Code Editor

[David Stone]

Consolas. It's one of the new Vista fonts. Very cool stuff.
I went out there, in search of experience,
To taste and to touch and to feel as much
As a man can, before he repents...

And every 6 months someone asks the same question. :)

wow... this is the first time i've ever looked at lucidia console. I can actually go down to a 7pt font with that. I generally use either Verdana or Trebuchet MS at 8pt. I also have enabled the ClearView power toy from MS. Levi Rosol Blog By Levi[^]

Currently Consolas, but used to use one called "Arial Monospaced". I used to have everything in Arial, but came across the new ones for Vista and I'm completely sold. Segoe UI for everthing that doesn't want a monospaced font, Consolas otherwise. I've found Consolas very readable for characters that are similar, 0's have a slash, o's dont. 1's and l' are easily indentified, and lowercase letters are larger than normal for readibility, but are distinct from uppercase.

I, too, have the same predilection for the font settings in every configurable text editor that I have. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

I've been using DejaVu Sans Mono 10pt for a while and quite like it.

I got into the habit of using the Raize[^] font in my Delphi days, and still use it in VS.

Defualt, what ever it is. I do make sure to add the UserType.dat file though. I like the extra santax highlighting that it provides. I also change it so all strings are in red.
