Consolas is easy on the eyes

29. October 2007

Seeing how other developers customize their environments is invaluable. I know this information is over a year old. But whatever, it's worth blogging about. While watching a webcast about C# best practices, the first thing I noticed was the font the speaker was using for his lecture. It was really nice on the eyes. So I Googled for "Visual Studio best fonts". Once again, Google proves that it is my friend and the first result was the download page for a Visual Studio font pack. So I downloaded and installed it from Microsoft's Download Center to check it out. Instant success! It was the same one the speaker was using. From now on, I'm coding with this font in Visual Studio: Consolas

Like hearing the responsibility concerns palpable in the voice of a designer talking about product packaging. Environmental impact matters

Ran across a framework called Squishit today, a web dev utility that combines and helps cache js/css/docs, making downloads smaller.
