    Question

    Does anyone know the name of the font that VB 5 and 6 use by default? I'm referring to the font that appears in the menus and property windows and such. I've looked through my massive number of fonts, and I seem to have missed it.

    Yes, I know that VB uses MS Sans Serif for the programs you actually write, but I'm referring to the font that the VB environment itself uses. I can't find that in my computer, and I'd like to know the name of the font to use in my own programs. And yes, my old dinosaur is a Pentium I.

    To me, it looks like VB uses the Courier New font.
    Than again...my eyes aren't very good .

    No, that's not it. I'm not that basic to not see the editor default is courier new. I use that in a bunch of other stuff too since I'm a neat freak. Anyway, after I got on a system with only about 30 fonts, I think I found it. Tahoma looks like the one that VB5 and 6 use in the menus and property windows and stuff.
