After updating to the latest Vim, 9.0.0984, and starting Vim in
a terminal without a file specified, the command line font was
extremely tiny. (I'd estimate the font size to be 4 points.) If
a file was opened from the command line, its font in the buffer was
also tiny. Subsequent commands typed in the command line were of
the expected font. The font in the buffer remained tiny until ^L
was typed.
Bisecting my vimrc and my usual color scheme plugin revealed the
command causing the tiny font to be
:set bg&
and bisecting the git commits showed the bad commit to be
733a69b29f0b0c3d2ddca463a41bdd912379bc5e, tag v9.0.0980.
Steps to reproduce
1. vim -N -u NONE -i NONE --cmd 'set bg&'
2. Type a colon (:) and note that it is in a very tiny font.
3. Continue typing the ex command to edit some file, e.g.,
":e feature.h". Note that the file is displayed in the buffer
in the same tiny font.
Expected behavior
I expect Vim to use the same 11-pt font it normally uses, as set in
the terminal's preferences.
