Agreed. I didn't know this until now. I will update my patch later today.
I'd like to request that the wretchedly ugly Courier font *NOT* be
hardcoded in to 2html.vim. I always end up removing it when I use 2html.
The font-family should either be just "monospace" or allow a global
variable to set the font.
I favour the variable, but courier is a good default. Most books use
the courier font for verbatim text like code, it is the globally
s/the courier font/some Courier font/
"Courier New" is a fixed-width scalable font which has the typical "Courier"
look, but unlike the bitmapped "Courier" font, it displays correctly (with
curves, not enlarged bitmaps) in all font sizes. I use it in Vim on Windoze
when editing Russian (because my favourite font, Lucida_Console, is not
actually fixed-width in bold Cyrillic) or Arabic (because Lucida_Console
simply lacks Arabic glyphs).
An alternative to hardcoding the font face name would be inferring it from
e.g. the 'guifont' option; but this might be less than obvious on non-GTK2
non-kvim X11 versions of the GUI (cf. ":help XLFD"), and it would of course
not be possible in Console Vim.
recognized "this part is code" font.
Again I will update my patch and reply when done.
