Even that is taken from me now. I had gvim happily open on a file,
closed it, opened another file, and we're tiny. When I have
set guifont=Courier\ Bold\ 10
in my .vimrc it is at least visible, although still small, and doesn't
change with the font size, but it does change size if I specify different
fonts (ie Lucida at any size is wider than Courier or Courier Bold at any
size, while Times New Roman is very small); when I comment it out I'm back
to the crazy tiny that I had before.
Any more ideas? :-(
More questions, certainly.
From the examples you have given (xterm works, gvim doesn't), I was assuming
that this meant that core (server-side) fonts are correctly sized, Xft
(client-side) fonts aren't.
But perhaps you mean that gvim is the only application which shows this problem?
You might compare the appearance of the fonts shown by 'xfd -fa Courier' and
'xfd -fn -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' to test that.
