Sharp font edges in Visual Studio Editor

This will get closed but assuming you are on XP and have an LCD monitor (it doesn't help much on CRT), you need to install the ClearType Tuner PowerToy. Vista and 7 shipped with clear type enabled by default so if you are on one of these than the problem is elsewhere...

As Naveen noted, your problem is related to ClearType. Instructions will vary based on your operating system. For XP, use the online tuner. For Vista and Windows 7, it is in the control panel. (For Windows 7, go to Control Panel > Fonts > Adjust ClearType text)

I should also add, ClearType only works on an LCD monitor because it is specific to how an LCD panel manages its pixels. If you are still using a CRT, you'll have to live with it.
