New Font for the Visual Studio 2005 Editor

Published 08 May 06 10:42 PM | VSEditor 

I've got good news!  Consolas, a cleartype font designed specifically for to make code more readable is now available for download for users of Visual Studio 2005 from the Microsoft Download Center. 

One important thing about Consolas is that it will only look good if you have ClearType enabled.  You can check the setting from the Display applet in Control Panel.  On the Appearance Tab click the Effects button.  Ensure the the check box "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" is checked and that it is set to Clear Type.

Thanks,
Sean Laberee

I tried downloading and running the setup.exe for this font family.  I received this from the Installsheild setup:

"The wizard was interrupted before Consolas font family could be installed.  Your system has not been modified.  To complete installation at another time, please run setup.exe again"

I have tried rebooting and running this with no other apps executing, to no avail.

Thanks,
