      which font suits you best on your prefered coding editor? - is it one font for all ide's ? - doesn't really matter, the defaults work just fine ? - or are you really fussy about different fonts on diff applications :) ? me.. i'm not too picky, at least not usually, but for some reason, on VS.net, i just can't find something that actually works, hence the question :confused: Consolas [too dark], Lucida Console [too light/thin], Courier [mmm.. maybe?] :doh:

      Courier New 10 for everything except the "Solution/Workspace" view, Tahoma or Segoe UI for that.

        I use Arial, but I usually use a larger point size.

                    I used to use Wingdings but I was getting headaches. X| Monotype Corsiva is much nicer. :-D

                        Whatever is the default VS font. It looks fine to me and I never cared enough to change it.

                            Consolas

                            .net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

                              Consolas works nicely in VS2005. I also use it when displaying code on web pages. Not so good in programs that don't support ClearType though... I also love the default SciTE font scheme - never thought i could stand using proportional fonts while coding, but this changed my mind. Also looks fantastic when printed.

                              It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

                              Consolas is very nice, if you have Visual Studio 2005 installed and/or are running Vista. Those of us in the trenches keeping the plumbing working in the real world with VS.NET 2003 and XP SP2 despise you out of glyph envy.
