KC++

2005-11-28, 7:59 am

Hello Everyone,

I want to add Fonts to Visual studio environmaent, other than its
default fonts.
I want to add "Verdana" font to source window, but i am not able to see
that font
in the Font combo box.
Tools > Option > Format > Font(combo box) > (I need to set Verdana)

How should i achieve it ?


Regards,

Kishor.

It seems that you're using MSVC60. It shows only fixes width
fonts in the combo. You cannot use other fonts.

Probably there are hacks in the internet how to overcome
this limitation.

I was mistaken. MSVC60 _does_ show other fonts. It just puts
fixed width fonts in the beginning of list. If Verdana is
installed on your computer, then you should see it in fonts
combo.

Do you see Verdana listed when you use a different program, say Wordpad?
Perhaps, you don't have that font or it may have got corrupt.

Yes, Notepad on m'c shows that font.
But combo of VS doesn't show Verdana font.
Actually, few days ago, i managed to Set verdana it to VS.
But now i didn't rembember how i had done that time.
