Anybody knows how to use the Inconsolata font in Visual studio 2010? While working nicely in Visual studio 2008, in 2010 it doesn't show up in the font selection box - presumably because it is not in TTF format...
It seems that I've found more or less working solution:

Edit: see Dmitry's comment below for updated links.
Google's TTF offering of Inconsolata (tested revision) appears in my VS2010 Fonts list and allows me to change sizes.
EDIT: See user1151080's comment below.

The color, the sharpness of the text, everything seems better in VS Code than in Visual Studio.
Is there any settings I can play with, or this is just how it is?
I found this question while I was trying to solve this problem myself, same font looking much more readable in VS Code compared to Visual Studio.
What worked for me in Visual Studio 2019 is extension called Text Sharp.
I use Consolas, and these settings finally made the font look the same in both editors:
I've already turned off many options in Visual Studio 2017, but I can't suppress this annoying pop-up. (Not this specific one, but all of them, for all the API's)
Can someone please show me the setting I need?
Check this old post How do I turn off code tooltips in Visual Studio 2010. In it a workaround is provided but you will probably make a new extension from the source for it to work in Visual Studio 2017.
Looks like there is no setting for this except for the C/C++ language.
I downloaded the FiraCode font's and have selected that as my font in Visual Studio. However the ligatures are not showing and the wiki doesn't have any special instruction for visual studio, although they imply it works because it is listed in their WORKS column for editor support.

Anyone have the missing step(s) to display the ligatures in visual studio 2015?
Before it will work you will need to close and restart Visual Studio.
I ran into the same problem and this fixed it (details)
After installing the font and restarting Visual Studio, it works for the most part. The way that Visual Studio handles tokenization in the syntax highlighting breaks the ligatures containing dashes (such as <!-- -->).

The Windows Aero theme for VS2010 is the closest I was able to get using the themes that are built into the Theme plug-in. Of course you could start there and customize further to get even closer.
