Customizing VS2008 Text

[twiget]

I'm not a big fan of the default Microsoft Sans Serif. Instead of manually changing the font with every new program, is there a way to change the default? Also, when coding, is there a way to customize the font in the coding window too?

Yep, both of those things (and much more) are in the options (under tools)

Also when you change it for VS 2008, if you install VS 2010 it'll pick up those settings so you shouldn't have to set them in the new IDE either.

Ok, maybe I should have been more specific. How do I change the text? I've been through the options menu, but there are so many options available that finding the one I want is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Plain Text and Selected Text are the top two which takes care of your issues with the IDE.

As for the font the windows forms use, it does default to Microsoft Sans Serif, you could create a form that has a different font then whenever you add a form to the project, select the inherited form and pick yours then it'll have your font instead of Microsoft Sans Serif by default for ya.
