Was it broken?
Technically, no. Visually, yes. It was one of the highest rated UI feedback items[^]. People don't like ugly UIs. Programmers have a hard time learning this.

I use Wingdings, personally. If you use another font, then I'm better than you.

Shift + Del. I don't allow unauthorized font installation - three fonts should be more than enough for any serious work anyhow. :-\

I write with Andale Mono, then change it to Wingdings to obfuscate the code. :-D

Sure, but it was replaced by adding functionality to the Fonts folder itself. Me, I kinda like it when I find that stuff I used years ago is still part of the package. E.g. open a command window (even in Vista), and type
edlin daftasa.batoredit daftasa.bat. Now, if they'd only put that expanding down arrow back into Word...I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Unless you are using Word as an IDE, and saving your code as .doc, .docx, or .rtf, formatting is not saved with your code. (and even if you were coding .doc, .docx or .rtf in Word, I would have to be reading your code in Word for the 'obfuscation' to work.

was is in vista64 or just vista32? Since the dialog was unchanged I have to wonder if it still used win16 APIs and was just yanked from the 32bit version now to make it consistent.

I never thought of that! I tried it on a 64 bit Windows 7. I'll check on a 32 bit 7 now.
