[RESOLVED] Text in code windows became very blur

I do remember what I did but text in code windows became very blur.
Another screens such as option, solution explorer are still very clear.
How to fix it?
I tried to reset to reset all setting but no luck.

What version of Visual Studio are you using?

vs2008

Sounds odd. I could imagine it happening in 2010 with the WPF based code editor, but I haven't seen anything like that with VS2008. Could you post a screenshot? I might be able to get more info for you.

doc file is attached

If you go into tools -> options, and then select from the left treeview Environment -> Fonts and Colors

There is a button there that says "Use Defaults". If you click that, then click ok to close the dialog, does that fix it?

I did many times but doen't help

Go into Tools -> Options ... reset your Font being used... (default is Courier New) ... it look like you may have accidentally nudged it to Courier... after you open the Options dioalog, select Fonts & Colors ... then hit the "Use Defaults" button... that should put it back.

edit - ARGH! That's what I get for taking my time and making sure the change should work.

No, no luck

ok, well for the sake of checking, when you are in that screen in the options menu, and "Text Editor" is shown in the drop down that says "Show settings for", what are the font settings you have there?

Generally its courier new, Size 12

Thank you so much.
I set size for 10 before.
Once I change size to 12, ok, 10, ok, it became clear again.
Why?

I don't really have an answer as to why it would happen. My guess is maybe even though it was showing 10, perhaps it was actually really set lower, like 8 or 6

Glad it's working now though.

But only 12 is working, if I change to 10 and then re-open, it became blur again.
I used 10 for a few years without any problem.

I tried 9 and 11 both are working.
Only 10 do not work.

have you changed resolutions? or monitors or anythign else? sounds like there's a problem with the DPI at that resolution/point size...

Maybe it was actually not loading your settings properly before now. Courier New size 10 usually looks like that because it's not one of the font's original sizes so it has to be resized which usually looks a bit strange.

I got it!
I copied blurred text to a new doc file and found out the name of font for the blurred text. This font is just added by me. I delete this font from window\font folder. Everything works great. I can take 10 now.

Glad it is all working. Please mark this thread resolved using the thread tools menu above.
