I use Notepad a lot for transferring text to word processing documents
and other thing. Thus, after my recent upgrade to XP from Millennium
Edition, I was annoyed to see that the text font that displays in
Notepad is HORRIBLE!!! The problem is that capital letters aren't tall
enough, rendering the text you type much harder to read (well, at least
much harder for ME to read.)

After looking through the fonts that are installed on my compute, it
seems that the text body disply font in Notepad may be Lucida Console.
If you double click on that font name your font folder, you'll see that
the problem with capital letters that aren't sized properly (in this
case, the letter "t"). Whether or not Lucida Console is what everybody
sees in Notepad, I don't know. However, this is a fresh install on a
formatted hard drive so it's likely that this would be the case.

Does anybody know of a way to change the default display font (for text
that you type into the document that you are creating) for Notepad? This
is really an annoyance that I can do without. Why Microsoft decided to
do this is totally beyond me.

TIA
