Unable to change fonts in Visual Studio 2013

Question

Previously, I could change the fonts and colors of Visual Studio 2013 by going to Tools > Options , then Environment > Fonts and Colors and finally showing the settings for the Text Editor. However, now I can not show the settings for the text editor. The first setting on the list is now the fonts and colors for the printer.

Edit: Here is a photo where the setting is missing.

Answer 1

First try removing HCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\FontAndColors\Cache

If this does not help remove both HCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\FontAndColors and HCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\FontAndColors , then run Rapair on VS 2013 installation.

This should help.

Answer 2

I found a working solution!

I used regedit and both the HCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\FontAndColors from the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/360625/2/ .

I changed the FontName and FontPointSize in each FontAndColors subdirectory and restarted Visual Studio.

How did I find this?

I noticed when I save the changes to VS, VS, deleting all the FontAndColors subdirectories, and then creating it again with the default values.
