Hello!
I seem to have run into a font problem -- as in the font I was using,
"Luxi Mono 10", is no longer a valid font.
Here's what happened:
* used gvim with Luxi Mono 10
* broke for lunch
* returned
* updated vim from 7.3.784 to 7.3.796
* Luxi mono font no longer available
Now, my system is set to do autoupdating via yum, but the yum.log showed
no activity on Jan 30 (let alone over lunch).
I've since reverted vim back to 784, but still no Luxi Mono 10 font.
The fonts that I have available are
clean (schumacher)
courier (adobe)
courier (urw)
courier 10 pitch (bitstream)
fangsong ti (isas)
fixed (jis)
fixed (misc)
fixed (sony)
lucidatypewriter (b&h)
mincho (daewoo)
nil (misc)
nimbus mono 1 (urw)
song ti (isas)
terminal (bitstream)
terminal (dec)
When I select any of these fonts via the font selector I get
Name: no specific match
and when I go ahead and click [ok] anyway I get "invalid font".
I've tried dozens.
I happen to have saved some guifont settings in the past; strangely
enough, these work:
set guifont=-dec-terminal-*-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
set guifont=-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-9
set guifont=-misc-fixed-*-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-9
set guifont=-*-courier-*-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
set
guifont=-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1
set
guifont=-bitstream-terminal-medium-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1
I've downloaded Luxi Mono and installed it. It doesn't show up on the
font selector, which by now seems totally useless. However, setting
guifont manually:
set guifont=Luxi\ Mono\ Bold\ 10
set guifont=Luxi\ Mono\ 10
gives E596: invalid font...
I'm using scientific linux 6.3:

Thank you,
