Font size for programming? [closed]

Tags:

font-size

After reading this question I installed Consolas. The trouble is, now the text seems too small. I have to adjust it to size 12 to use it comfortably. Anyone else experience this when switching to Consolas (or any other font)? Do my eyes just have to adjust to this new font or is it a sign that my eyesight is deteriorating?

My resolution is 1280x1024

I use Consolas at 12 point too; I think I used to be 10 point Courier New.

The resolution of your screen is irrelevant without the size of the monitor. You'll need a bigger font size on a laptop than on a 24" monitor even if the resolutions are the same
