set guifont with commas FAILS on Linux " .......1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.... <quote> :help guifont
This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim. In its simplest form the value is just one font name. When the font cannot be found you will get an error message. To try other font names a list can be specified, font names separated with commas. The first valid font is used. </quote> I have tried the comma separated list on Mac and WinXP and it works. But on Linux and it does NOT work. Is this a bug, or am I specifying the guifont wrong? Lubuntu gvim 7.3.547 (ubuntu 13.04 base) Puppy Linux gvim 7.3.1209 (ubuntu 12.04 base) Examples listed below are Mac (works), WinXP (works), Linux (fails): " .......1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6....
