Yakov Thanks very much to everyone who helped with this, I'm afraid I chickened out in the end and asked the network administrator, he backported a vim 7 compiled with GTK2 GUI onto my machine, which has solved the problem.

You'll want to rebuild vim with GTK2, not with motif, right? Then: ./vim7-install.sh enable-gui=gtk2 and you'll need gtk2-devel package installed Yakov See also my HowTo page http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm which includes the following bash script #!/bin/bash export CONF_OPT_GUI='--enable-gnome-check' export CONF_OPT_PERL='--enable-perlinterp' export CONF_OPT_PYTHON='--enable-pythoninterp' export CONF_OPT_TCL='--enable-tclinterp --with-tcl=tclsh8.4' export CONF_OPT_RUBY='--enable-rubyinterp' export CONF_OPT_MZSCHEME='--enable-mzschemeinterp' export CONF_OPT_CSCOPE='--enable-cscope' export CONF_OPT_MULTIBYTE='--enable-multibyte' export CONF_OPT_OUTPUT='--enable-fontset' export CONF_OPT_FEAT='--with-features=huge' export CONF_OPT_COMPBY='"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"' which I source (in bash; "running" it in bash without "source" or "." doesn't work) to set configure options. IIUC, configure will pick GTK+2 in preference to ther GUIs if it finds that the gtk2-devel package is installed. You may use that script, and you will want to modify one or more lines of it (including, at least, the --with-compiledby to put your name there instead of mine).

I found out by accident that the font is Monospace 10, so I put the
following line in my .vimrc
set guifont=Monospace\ 10
but I still get different fonts, I have attached a screenshot of two
gvim sessions, lhs is gvim7, rhs is gvim6.3, if you look at the bottom
of each window is sets the font as I have just executed :set guifont? in
each of the windows. They have both accessed and read the .vimrc it
would seem, so what is wrong?
Are those two vims built with same GUI libraries ? I suspect
that they are build with different GUIs.
Can you send first 4 lines out :version output from each of two vims ?
Yakov
P.S. I remember that I had similar issue between one Qt-based
program and similar Xt-based program. I set same font for them two,
but they showed it rather differently. Maybe you'll want to rebuild
vim7 to use same GUI as your vim6.3. If you send first 4 lines from
both vims :version, we'll know which GUI they are both built with.
":set guifont=Monospace\ 10" is applicable only to GTK+2 (or GNOME 2).
kvim would require ":set guifont=Monospace/10"; other X11 GUIs would
require something like ":set
guifont=*-monospace-medium-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-m-*-*"; and non-X11 GUIs
something like ":set guifont=Monospace:h10".
However, IIUC "Monospace" is a generic font name (like "Serif" or
"Sans-serif"). I believe the mapping from such "generic" names to
"actual" fonts (like Courier or Lucida for Monospace, Times or Century
for Serif, Arial or Helvetica for Sans-serif, etc.) can be different
from one system to another.
The OP might want to find one particular fixed-width font that suits him
and try to set that on his several systems. If his version of gvim
allows it, he can try ":set guifont=*" for a start; if it doesn't, he
can paste into his vimrc the following snippet:
if has("gui_running")
if has("gui_gtk2")
set guifont=Courier\ 10
elseif has("gui_kde")
set guifont=Courier/10
elseif has("x11")
let &guifont = "*-courier-medium-r-normal"
\ . "-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*"
else
set guifont=Courier:h10
endif
endif
where I have intentionally cut the long Xft font name in two to avoid
problems with "beautifying" mail clients. (This assumes 'nocompatible'
is set.)
Then, once the 'guifont' looks "almost right", the value can be edited
on the command-line by means of
:set guifont=
which will recall the current value with escaping slashes if and where
required. Edit it on the command line, then hit Enter to accept the
changes or Esc to cancel the changes. Once the value is "just right",
copy it back to the vimrc.
Remember that changing the 'guifont' will usually change the pixel size
of the character cell, which may in turn require setting 'lines' and
'columns' again. If you want gvim to be maximized, use ":set lines=999
columns=999" immediately after every change to 'guifont'.
Best regards,
Tony.

I had Sans regular 12 on Vim6.3 and the list of fonts there is greater than that in Vim7, do I need to tell Vim where to look for fonts, if so how do I check where Vim 6.3 looks and tell Vim 7 to look there as well. I think this is because 6.3 is a network wide install and 7 is installed in my home directory. Thanks, Rob. I just discovered that the font is not Sans regular 12 on Vim6.3 because when I use :set guifont=* although that is the font that is highlighted, if I actually apply it then the font changes (to Sans regular 12) and to change it back I have to use :set guifont= with no argument, so I guess I must be displaying the default font or something?
