Question

I can not find any help on this issue in vs2008 help, Google, or SO.

Scenario:
I’m looking at a source file in vs2008 SP1; Windows 2003 Server SP2 Standard Edition, 1280×1024.

The irrelevant name of this file is index.aspx.

What is relevant is that the file has only 65 lines of code.
The print is unreadably small–less than 4 point. It uses
less than a third of the vs2008 text window vertically and
less that a quarter of the vs2008 text window horizontally.

It’s not just index.aspx; e.g. another file with 142 lines
only fills about 3/4 of the vs2008 text window vertically
and less that a quarter of the vs2008 text window horizontally.

Possible cause:
Probably, but not certainly, I found the equivalent of
zoom in/zoom out such as one finds in products like
Microsoft Word.

However, I’ve explored many vs2008 toolbars and other
customization options and unfortunately I can not find
out how to get myself out of this mess.

Window, Reset Window Layout has no effect on the text size;
my tiny text size did not change.

QUESTION: how do I zoom vs2008 text size in and out and back to normal size?

Answer 1

Try going to “Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors” and check the font -size used.
