Add new font in visual studio 2010

Question

I am trying to add this font http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html to my visual studio. I downloaded it and added it to the Windows / fonts directory. restarted the computer, and yet I still cannot find it on the font and color settings.

Any solution?

GDI + does not play well with OpenType fonts, you will need to find the TTF version, how about this: http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/inconsolata/?r=fffda675769720a297f4d239e7065f751bbe655f
