I am trying to recreate a small fex I wrote in Dev Studio. I'm trying to do this in notepad as I'm not working now.

There is a default font that is preset in DevStudio or AppStudio text editor, and I am trying to figure out what it is.

Can anyone help me?

Why would you want your code to look like you used an old-fashioned typewriter to create it? These days there is choice. And in my opinion, Courier is not among them...

I always immediately change the fonts in Dev/App Studio (or other editors) to a usable font, such as Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono or Lucida Console.

As long as it's a monospace sans serif font, I find it a big improvement over Courier. The two things to look out for are whether 1, I, l and O, 0 are sufficiently distinct.

I think Courier often gets picked as a default font because pretty much any system in existence has some variant of it.
