Finally, can I specify a default font? If so, how do I determine what fonts are available? For now I'm using MacVim for now, since it allows me to started a little more quickly than I would be able to with regular Vim, especially with file handling. Since you are using macvim, an easy way

I've found gvimrc in the finder, i.e., in the MacVim.app package. How do I open it in Vim? I copied it into my home directory and set it as a hidden file, using terminal (I suppose you can use Finder, but I don't like Finder much). Having the .gvimrc file in your home file makes it easier

Thanks for your suggestion. It does look better with ambiwidth=double. At least they are equally spaced. I would have preferred to have the same spacing as in regular text, but at least it looks better than before. Hi, I can't get what you mean, do you mean that they aren't equally spaced

Matt: thanks for your help. Even though I can see 'mu' and can insert it into text using gvim, cat 'file' still displays just '?' where the character should go. So I guess that this terminal (rox-term) is not configured to display greek letters. I'll have to figure out how to set it up.
