Hi, all -- [Let's see if I can provide all of the details the first time instead of having to go back and forth just for foundation... :-]
I have used Cygwin for years and have been using the cygwin gvim (versus the Windows-native vim + gvim) for some time now. I had occasion to do a fresh install of 1.7.7 on a freshly-rebuilt laptop after a hard drive crash and so I don't think that I have any of the upgrade gotchas biting me, but stranger things have happened :-) When I first started gvim after my install, the font was invisibly tiny both for the content and for the menus. [Note that both xterm and rxvt-X are fine.] Using another computer to see where I was going and matching the keystrokes I attempted to set the font to "Lucida Console 12" but found no change. I have manually (a bummer, but I gather from the FAQs that the lack of dependency linking is temporary) added the font-bh-dpi75 and font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi75 packages with no effect. I have set the guifont variable in my .vimrc file, and the tiny window was somewhat differently sized but still tiny. Finally, I have of course googled for "cygwin +gvim +font (size or tiny)" and similar to see what others have found, but I haven't matched anything more useful than the guifont setting. What do I need to fix and where to make my gvim readable? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt
