Font Setting in VS2010 - missing FixedSys

After installing VS2010 yesterday - (both VS2005 and VS2010 installed), I can't find the "FixedSys" style font from the Fonts and Colors -> Font (pull down list).

I can still use the font in VS2005.

[update] I just searched "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts", there is no Fixedsys style in the folder.

Any suggestions on how to make FixedSys available as a choice in Visual Studio 2010?

+4 A:

I'm not sure, but this might be happening because Fixedsys isn't TrueType. Fixedsys Excelsior is a TrueType font based on Fixedsys that should work instead.

@MiffTheFox, Thanks. I installed FSEX300.ttf successfully - via your link, but it still doesn't work well. (http://bylang.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pdoEuOUUky04y9aEZQFA7N3oOuiqahoT3UGSkdRa8DvKnOV9s-H64A8kV9raHBk0dwKEwkS8SefiCyoyMFCGsmMbUlYEnhk32/FontIssue.JPG)

@MiffTheFox, Oh. I found the reason. After I setting the FSEX300 size from 10 to 12. It works very well. :-)

+1 A:

This is because the WPF editor is supporting only TrueType fonts, and it's a

limitation of WPF, there's no way for Visual Studio to add or reinstate support for raster fonts

See this MS Connect issue titled Code Editor Cannot Select Fixedsys.
