Best Font for Visual Studio

Fantasque Sans Mono

Fantasque Sans Mono is my choice for the past two years. You need to try it to see how good it is.

A programming font, designed with functionality in mind, and with some wibbly-wobbly handwriting-like fuzziness that makes it unassumingly cool.

It is also opensource and you can find it on GitHub here. (3k+ stars).

A font family with a great monospaced variant for programmers.

How to install new font (windows)

Download the font from here
Open Fonts directory in windows. (Search for "font" in windows and you will see it as the first option)
Open the downloaded zip file, drag and drop the items in the OTF directory to the Fonts.
Open Visual Studio settings. Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Choose Fantasque Sans Mono from the font list > OK.

If you have a better suggestion, let me know in the comments.
