Hey Damien
Just came across this post and your fonts. Very nice. and I really like your color scheme.

I’ve been a consolas guy for a number of years now, and one of the big reasons is the lower “m”.

Envy seems to have a similar prob as a lot of other fonts. I’m guessing because it’s compressed a bit horizontally, the lower m doesn’t have much space to breath, so (at least to my eyes), it tends to fuzz considerably at 14 pt in VS.

Whereas Consolas’s lower m is much clearer.

However, I really like your line draw chars, and the Bold-Italic trick for VS is utterly fantastic.

Do you see what I mean about the m’s? I can shoot you some screen shots if you like. And again, it might just be me

Go into Start Menu > Control Panel > Fonts

Now unzip the file using extract all. Then drag the .ttf and .otf files from the unzipped folder into the Fonts window.

For a newbie, how does one install fonts from the files in the zip archive that I downloaded, there’s no installer (setup.exe). I have windows xp sp2.

thanks

Damien,

I’ve been using envy r vs for awhile now and I am hooked hard, but I am running into the weirdest issue with it. Whenever I view Visual Studio (08 or 05) over remote desktop, all of the lowercase a’s are converted to lowercase d’s. This is kind of a nutty problem, but do you have any ideas about it?

Thanks,
Shawn

pretty font but not very usable IMHO. on my screen, commas look like periods. semicolons look like colons. two of the most important characters in C# coding.

Having gone through a barrage of monospaced fonts, I realized Envy Code R is by far the best free font available. Although, I really liked Paragmata font, I couldn’t use it due to the hefty price tag on it (‘am not earning yet).

Envy Code R has everything I liked about Paragmata, so basically it’s a no brainer for me.

Thank you Damien!

Just wanted to post that I’ve been using the font for a few months now and am REALLY
enjoying it. I’m using it right now with kde4 and kdevelop. I’m also one of those
optimists that check back on your blog every few days in hope of seeing an update. I
can hardly wait to see what more you do with it! Thanks so much! This is a phenomenal
coding font.
