Dear list

I had been developing by open xterm, maximize it, run vim in it. The
benefit is it happen to be more than 160 columns wide, allow me to split
vertically to edit two related programs each at 80-column width.

It has 3 problems: 
     I. sometimes vim in xterm stop responding suddenly, and never
        coming back, reason unknown;
    II. my color schema doesn't work because xterm support limited
        number of colors
   III. I prefer gvim for its menu.

I'd like to select a small font for gvim so that I can maximize vim
window and use two 80-column window inside of it without xterm. That way
I need a font at 6 pixel wide. I cannot found such a font. in xfontsel I
select 6 for pxlsz and only two fonts are available: "clean" and
"fixed", both are two small to be readable at 6 pixel (then what font
xterm is using that is readable even at 6 pixel??) and both are not
selectable in gvim's choose font dialog.

Can someone recommend me a 6-pixel-wide readable font (like the one used
by default in xterm) and usable in gvim? Thanks in advance!

P.S. maybe the best solution is to run at 1280 px wide screen with
8-pixel font, which is 160 column wide, but yet what I need is 161
column wide because there is one column used as separator:(
