Enlarge that code in Dreamweaver
I code in Visual Studio at work. Dreamweaver is my text editor at home. I finally got sick of looking at the small default code text in Dreamweaver on my Mac. So off I went fishing around in the DW’s preferences. You can find the setting to beef this up under Dreamweaver > Preferences > Fonts. Modify the Code view values and you’ll be good to go.
The default font, Monaco isn’t all that bad but it was time for a change. I’m now at 10pt arial but I will probably end up back at a small monospace face soon (Dreamweaver was onto something when they made Monaco the default).
It felt good to finally change that fucker.

HUGE THANKS, MATE! The default font for coding in Dreamweaver is 7 point Monoco. Why only 7 point? Why not 12, at least? As soon as I followed your advice, my life improved tremendously! Working in 12 point Monoco is much better, and 14 point Courier is great!

Now, why are all the comments marked 7/14/08? By my calendar, it is more than a year past that date right now.
