I also tried neep font (with X11 version of gvim I can use -fn to specify neep ), I am surprised to find if I specify '11' as pxlsz I get some fonts less than 6-pixel wide, so probably by pxlsz xfontsel is only trying to tell me the height of the font. Actually after I have tried, even pxlsz=13, neep give me 166 columns per line when gvim maximized, right suit me need. Thanks to you both. For newbie on this list, this is what I did 1) download latest vim source 2) 'cd src' and then 'make', then su to root, run 'make install'; 3) launch vim by using /usr/local/bin/gvim -fn '-*-neep-*-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
