I have tried several different font style setting in vs2008 so that I can easily distinguish between parenthesis and brackets. { ( ) } .
I have not found a font that is good at parenthesis and brackets but also comfortable to look at all day.
Lucida Console is what I have settled on for now, but can anyone recommend one that they think is easier on the eyes?
(To change the setting, go to tools->options-> environment-> fonts and colors . see stackoverflow:
Change font size and style in Visual Studio 2008)
If you want a font that it nice to read, you shouldn’t limit yourself to monospaced fonts.
Personally I use Verdana at the moment.
