I downloaded & installed Visual Studio 2022. After creating a new project, and playing with the IDE for some time, I noticed that my font size was set to bold everywhere in the editor. Keywords, operators, punctuation, strings, variables, functions, classes, everything! Obviously I tried to change the size of the font, but it always reverts back to being bold.
Did I do something to cause this? How can I change it to not use bold font everywhere?
This is due to Microsoft changing the default font in Visual Studio 2022 from Consolas to Cascadia Code: a font which is designed to make text easier to read for people with disabilities like Character Dysmorphia or Dyslexia. You can change this back to "Consolas", the VS 2019 font by going to
Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > "Show settings for: Text Edit" > Font: "Consolas"
