Can you change the VS05 Help (MS Doc Explorer) code samples font?

    BeezelDub:

    You can change the plain text font under Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Fonts. Then go to Tools > Options > Accessibility and click "Ignore Font Styles specified on Web Pages".

    Just be aware that you are making global changes to IE that will affect (in mostly negative ways) all web pages you view, both inside and outside of the MSDN help.

    Wowser, that's the first time we've heard that. I will forward this recommendation to the documentation design team for consideration.

    I just checked the font both online & offline, and it seems perfectly readable. Perhaps you have set your monitor to a very high resolution or have changed the IE font size from Medium to Smaller

    Perhaps my computer didn't have whatever font the code samples part using, but its fine now. I have a new laptop now and with the reinstall of everything code samples look good.

    Weird. Thanks.
