Consolas Font Pack

One of the keys to making a text easy to read is the choice of an appropriate font, one that will not strain the eye, especially when someone sits in front of the PC for long hours. This becomes particularly important when working in a programing environment like Microsoft Visual Studio.

One of the solutions provided by Microsoft comes in the form of a set of fonts called Consolas Font Pack. The items included in this package are especially tailored for use in conjunction with the ClearType technology.

The increased legibility ensured by the members of the Consolas family will transform the default typeface inside Microsoft Visual Studio and make it a lot better, at least for those who have to spend a lot of time inside this IDE.

An important mention that has to be made regarding the usage of Consolas Font Pack pertains to the fact that it is exclusively meant to be used by those who own a license for Visual Studio, the 2005 and 2008 editions.

Getting this font onto your computer is an easy task, since all you have to do is run the installer and the Consolas font will become available in a matter of seconds. It is worth mentioning that they are 4 typefaces in all, namely Consolas Bold, Consolas Bold Italic, Consolas Italic and Consolas Regular.
