Re: about choosing a font for the editor
Go for it! Maybe we could even vote on the better ones for WB.
Re: about choosing a font for the editor
We have received message in our support system from one user, regarding fonts. I hope somebody will find this useful.
Well, to keep it short: I've downloaded several mono-spaced fonts & tried
them.
The winner (IMHO) is Dejavu Sans Mono; downloadable for free at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dejavu/
A very clear font on flat screen monitors which supports, next to
west-european, also Greek and Serbian.
Kind regards,

Re: about choosing a font for the editor
I've now got to find a new font.
We've upgraded to Visual Studio 2010, and that only uses True Type or Open Type fonts, and the Raize font I was using is a Bitmap font, so Visual Studio 2010 won't use it.
I'm a bit undecided, and am switching between Consolas, Liberation Mono and Droid Sans Mono Custom, just can't quite settle on one of them.

Consolas is the one I settled on a while back and wouldn't use anything else now.MikeyB wrote:I've now got to find a new font.

I've been on Consolas for about a week now after not liking it much to start with, but it could be the winner 
Just too picky when it comes to my font, now I've also starting looking at different colur schemes in Visual Studio after seeing lots of posts about people using dark backrounds, but that's a whole different game.
