Why are my fonts blurry in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I recently switched to Visual Studio 2010. I have always used good old pixelized fonts as I find it easier to read (One pixel is Black, the other is white... Perfect).

In Visual Studio 2005 I was using bitmap fonts. In VS 2010 It seems that you must use TTF Fonts, so I switched to proggy fonts TTF format.

But now my text is blurry. Here is a screenshot:

How can I disable this useless feature? I don't want my code to look "pretty" i just want to work with it :)

It is Windows 7 operating system property.

• Right click on "Computer" and select "Properties".
• Click "Advanced system settings" at the left top corner. "System Properties" dialog box appears.
• Click "Settings..." button under "Performance" section.
• Uncheck "Smooth edges of screen fonts".
