Visual Studio 2010 Font size change control + mouse wheel 1080p res monitor

I recently bought a 1080p monitor and I'm still not used to the resolution. The default font size, Consolas 10, is too small for me to read and 11 is a bit bigger than I want it to be. If I increase the font with control + mouse wheel while the enviroment font size is 10, it gets bigger than I want it. The font size I'm ok with is 11 with one control + mouse wheel step decrement, but that is a little bit bigger than the default Consolas 10.

I'm wondering if the control + mouse wheel increments/decrements the text editor's font size by 1,5 value. How can I set it to the one I'm comfortable with? (Consolas 11 decremented by 1 control + mouse wheel)

The only way that I have found to achieve this is to install VSCommands. This tool allows you to set a default zoom level. I think if you install this extension, set the default zoom level to 91% and set your font size to 11, it should give you what you need.

When you hold ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel it doesn't change the font size, it changes the zoom level.

Use a combination of font size and zoom to achieve what you want.
