I'm not entirely certain, but I think "screen fonts" means bitmap fonts. I vaguely remember some option to use these in the Cocoa frameworks, but I'll have to take a closer look and get back to you.

To set linespace use the 'linespace' option, e.g. :set linespace=5 Changing character spacing currently requires a bit more work. Start Terminal and type: defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMCellWidthMultiplier 1.2 Change the value "1.2" for whatever you like (the default is "1"). You'll have to quit and restart MacVim for this change to take effect. Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
