I've been customising my IDE look and feel and I'm now really happy with my setup except for a fairly annoying aspect which I can't seem to change.
Under Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colours I can specify the font size and the fonts look great, easily legible, at any size. However, if I modify the zoom/scale widget at the bottom left of any tab group's window, the font scaling is terrible and clearly doesn't use the supplied sizes supplied by the typeface and is instead scaled by stretching the font graphically or some other method. (sorry, can't think of better terminology :).
Is there any way to change this behaviour so that I can independently scale each tab group but force the window to use the typeface's font sizes? I like to have my main window at 100% then open another tab group(s) with other source files zoomed out, but the fonts are blurry and hard to read.
Let me know if I should post screenshots of the differences. I'm trying this with the fonts: Consolas, Lucida Console and Deja Vu Sans Mono. I've tested this with ClearType on and off and I'm using Win7 Pro. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the typeface, but just the standard behaviour of the program. Notepad++ doesn't have this behaviour - when I scale the screen(using ctrl-mousewheel, like I do in VC++), it simply chooses smaller and larger fonts from the typeface, as I'd expect it to do.
