Allright, so my last short post was about the fixedsys font not being available in the RC version of Windows 7. However, it’s there, but it seems to be depending on your language settings.
Now, being the proud little Belgian that I am, I have my language set to Belgain period. Not a good thing it seems, when you are a big fan of Fixedsys. But it can be solved :)
So basically what you need to do is go to the installed fonts window, you can see the Fixedsys font is already installed, but hidden for certain languages. That’s why you need to go to the font settings window and uncheck the hide checkbox:
And all of a sudden the font is available in notepad again:
Apparantly, Visual Studio does not take this little rule into account, that’s how I found out the font was actually installed. I was able to select the font from the Visual Studio
font selector. DAMN YOU WINDOWS :)
