Thanks indeed for the rapid reply! :
"maybe you meant encoding instead of font?"
Hmmm, currently it is "font" I am changing, to get say the Apl font
- works fine, but as I say, I then also need other tabs working with just the
standard Fixedsys font.
"However, we do not change fileencoding unless the user specifically does this
through the Format menu item."
I am not quite clear what fileencoding does usefully change - presumably the
mapping of the characters ?
- if I select Greek fileencoding, say, an "a" still gives me an "a", not
<alpha>, (which I would expect to get from a font change).
I will also go ask my questions in a Vim group,
but thanks for the comments,
cheers,
Beau

I'm unaware of how to use different fonts across different Buffers, can Vim
even do this?

Ah, maybe you meant encoding instead of font? Cream uses a global keyboard
encoding to ensure that mappings, menus, and function calls are sane across
buffers. However, we do not change fileencoding unless the user specifically
does this through the Format menu item.
(Although to be honest, I'm not sure what Vim does behind the scenes that Cream
has no control of.)

I'm not certain, but there may be someone else here better suited to answer
this.
