Visual Studio 2010 default zoom level

Question

Is there a way to set the default zoom level in Visual Studio 2010? The problem is that I find font size 10 to be too small, but font size 11 is too big. It just so happen

Answer 1

I recommand this extension : http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/6a7a0b57-7059-470d-bcfa-60ceb78dc752?SRC=VSIDE

"This extension creates a global zoom level so that if you zoom a single window, all editor instances will be updated to that zoom level."

Answer 2

As far as I am aware you cannot set a default value for the zoom level. Instead, consider setting the default font size for the text editor.

Answer 3

Global Zoom Level Extension is very good as well

This extension causes the selected zoom level in the editor window to be applied globally across all (zoomable) editor windows. The zoom level is saved and reapplied across sessions, so it does not have to be manually reset every time Visual Studio is launched.

Answer 4

As stated by richardwb VSCommands 10 has this option, it's free and will control default zoom level on all open documents.

Clarification: It seems that VS Commmands doesn't set the default zoom % when Visual Studio is first opened. But it does a good job of keeping everything at the default zoom % after I set it manually a single time on one document. Since I keep VS itself open for long periods this gets me most of what I need.
