Tomer Gabel's annoying spot on the 'net RSS 2.0
# Wednesday, 22 March 2006

I decided to split my previous post in the hope that someone googling for this topic might actually get a straightforward answer (I certainly didn't). Visual Studio 2003 does not let you use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono by default. Instead it takes a bit of trickery to get it to work.

  1. Open Visual Studio 2003; go to Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors. You will notice that you can select either Bitstream Vera Sans or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Bold. Select the latter like so:


  2. Click on OK and close Visual Studio 2003.
  3. Run regedit; click through to the following key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\FontAndColors\{A27B4E24-A735-4D1D-B8E7-9716E1E3D8E0} (the GUID may be different for you - there aren't many of them, just look until you find the right value name):


  4. Change the value of FontName to "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" (without the quotes):


  5. Click on OK, close the registry editor, restart Visual Studio 2003. You're good to go!
