textRenderOptions.c
/*
(.c extension doesn't mean anything. This is not a configuration file, you are supposed to apply settings below yourself)
To use these settigns you need the 'text sharp' extension available at:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SergeyVlasov.TextSharp
If this doesn't work for you, I suggest you upgrade to visual studio 2017 (after preview).
After this version and following configuration the text is rendered like the rest of the OS,
with proper thickness and beautiful rendering. imo it is just like xcode now
