Do you mean the font used in the IDE or in your generated application?

Solution 2

I assume you want to programmatically change the font of one or more windows of your application.
You may use the WM_SETFONT[^] message (or the CWnd::SetFont[^] method, if you are using MFC).

I had a look at an installation on a WinXP machine and got it working by adding the following keys to the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Format]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Format\Output Window]
"FontFace"="Consolas"
"FontSize"=dword:0000000c

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Format\Source Window]
"FontFace"="Consolas"
"FontSize"=dword:0000000c

The above lines set the Source and Output window's font to Consolas with a size of 12 points. It's an export by regedit so you can put it into a .reg file and import by opening that file in Explorer.
