What font do you use in the IDE?

Post by Mistrel »

I was reading this thread when I got curious:

What font do you use in the IDE? I love Lucida Console, size 9.

I use Courier New because I like columns to line-up neatly and it's a very clear font to read at 3 in the morning. I generally don't write a lot of code in PB's IDE though, I use Ultra Edit - it is excellent for most programming languages.

I love PB IDE's auto case correction and code completion. Can Ultra Edit do this for PureBasic?

I'm experimenting with Inconsolata pt size 10 at the moment, but normally I use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono pt size 9, which is great.

Also an absolute must for me is GDI++ which turns my Win7 font rendering into something similar to a Mac. I can't live without it, nowadays the normal Windows font rendering (with or without ClearType) hurts my eyes.

For all my IDE (PureBasic, Codelite, UltraEdit, Notepad++, FasmW, ...) : Lucida Console (9 or 10) :mrgreen:

Ultra Edit has configurable syntax highlighting and auto-correction of case (specific to the language). It doesn't have auto-complete (something that I dislike in VS, just slows me down!), though it's sister, UE Studio, does. It has very good macro facilities and totally awesome column editing.

on Linux:
IDE: mixed fix regular 10
PANELs: Bitstream Vera Sans 8
Debugger: without


on Windows:
IDE: Diana 7 [a proggyfont]
PANELs: ProFontWindows 8
Debugger: without

(I didn't know 'til yesterday there was an extra setting for the debuggerfont as well)

I stick to the IDE for programming as the quick help, all the helps, addons, indentions, colors, error-msgs ... are too helpfull to be missed.
But as for editing the IDE is a cramb, no wrab for reading, a dreadful annoying plain search ( & in files / replace) function ... so then I too switch to UE - it's simply unbeatable to any editor I know. 8)

Screenshots of the fonts would be better in this thread. :)

Now I'm interested. But can you say something about this? :
