    What's Your VB editor font?

    I'm looking for a satisfactory alternate font for vbe. This is because while playing with web code, I ran into an error because f1 looks exactly like fl with the default Courier option.


    I've looked at the options list and there must be 1,000 of them - the ones that I tried don't seem to differ with respect to that rendition of f1 and fl. I'm wondering if everyone just uses the default from the application install or if anyone knows of a font that they like in terms of its uniform character spacing and all of that stuff.
    The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.

    For the most part, I also use Calibri (Western).
    I also like Tahoma (Western) and Verdana (Western) - might have to adjust the font size.

    Just checked - right now I am using Calibri (Western)

    Like ssanfu, I use Calibri 11pt for almost all text in Access forms & reports. Previously Tahoma/Verdana.

    However, the question was about the VBE, where I use what I thought was the default Segoe UI Symbol (Western) 10pt

    However where typing code on my website, I use Georgia 12pt as its a serif font.
    If you want a monospaced font, you could try Lucida Sans Typewriter

    Right now I'm trying Tahoma western. Initially I was trying to stay with fixed width, but that might not be so important in the end. Mainly, I couldn't tell the difference between 1 and l (lower case L) with the default, and that is a problem I can do without.

    Thanks for the tips; I will have to try those also.
    Back to struggling with my latest project...

    Using Trebuchet MS. The 1's and l's are distinguishable as shown here. I also use font size 12. Old Eyes.
