Choice of Font for VS Code Editor
-
Just an informal poll on the VS code editor fonts... Do you use the default Courier New font for the code editing window or do you use a different font? What font and size do you use (fixed font, serif, sans serif)? Do you find the font makes a big difference when viewing the code window all day? Just curious because every 6 months I get a whim to change the font and after spending a half hour flipping through various fonts I usually come back to Lucidia Console or Courier New. David
I just like using Verdana :)

Courier New 12 pt. On my 19x12 monitor, with the way I have the IDE windows set up, that gives me about 140 cols of text. I also set the colors to be white text on black, I find that infinitely easier to read than black-on-white. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!!

Wingdings. I find it makes the code much easier to understand.

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...

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.

Lucida Console for me, usually at 10pt but often increased to 14pt depending on what I'm doing with the code. I prefer to review code in a larger font as I find the mistakes stick out better. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]
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.

Fonts?? :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: Geez, I just hold the cards up to a light and read the code through the holes. Been doing that for years. Do fonts make it easier? :confused: Chris Meech I am Canadian.
