I have downloaded a font that looks less than desirable if it is not anti-aliased. I can not figure out how to enable anti-aliasing in VS, I have changed the 'Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts' in the system performance options but that does not seem to help.
VS2008 on XP SP3.
What am I missing?
Which font is it?
Try using ClearType, not Standard font smoothing. It's in Display properties, Appearance, Effects.
Could it be a problem with the color combination? Some fonts look really ugly on high contrast combinations with a black background.
Also, can you see the difference in the fonts in any other application?
Which font is it?
It is the Liberation Mono font.

That is exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking that the setting in computer performance was the only one. It looks like a charm now.
