In VS 2003, I could change the font that was used in the "Dialogs And
Tools" by using the Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts And Colors page,
and setting the "Dialogs And Tools Windows" item. The main reason I
needed this is because I run large system font, and so things like the
"Class View" tree, and Properties with that font simply show too little
info to be useful.

Now I am looking at VS 2005, and I can not set the font for these
items. I have tried everything in Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts
and Colors. This makes it really close to unusable for me.

Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps I am missing a setting, or
perhaps a plugin could change the fonts?

There's a number of command line flags that can be used [1]. One which I've
used I don't think I recall seeing in the documentation. Try changing the
font using c:\devenv /12 for example. The default is /8. I've used these
flags to modify fonts for presentations.

Meanwhile I'm having problems of my own "Website Administrator writes two
instances of each user into the database"

Thanks, but it does not seem to work with VS 8.
