Great tip!
I have added this section to my .vimrc on cygwin:
if has('gui')
" we use has('gui') rather than has('gui_running') here
" so it will work even if we start Console Vim first
" then run :gui manually (which is only possible on Unix)
if has('gui_gtk2')
set gfn=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ 11
elseif has('gui_photon')
set gfn=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono:s11
elseif has('gui_kde')
" the obsolete kvim
" just make sure it works correctly if it hits our vimrc
set gfn=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono/11/-1/5/50/0/0/0/1/0
elseif has('x11')
" I'm guessing the following (other-X11 including GTK1)
" please check, and correct if necessary.
" On GTK1 (and maybe some others) you can use :set gfn=*
" Replace by asterisks like here
" to make it a little more general:
set gfn=-*-dejavu-medium-r-normal-*-*-110-*-*-m-*-*
" add another elseif here
" if you want DejaVu on mac-without-x11
else
" not x11 (probably Windows)
set gfn=Courier_New:h11:cDEFAULT
endif
endif
However, the selected font when I start gvim is Sans, regular 12.
While I'd have like to have Sans Bold 13. Can you please suggest how
to make do it?
BTW, I'm using this alias for gvim for setting font. It works well for me:
gvim -font Courier\ Bold\ 13
10x,
Yosi
