Thanks for the quick response.
This is a side by side picture of some XML in notepad and Gvim with this behavior: http://cid-a8c4875178efed94.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/FuzzyGvim.png The system DPI in the shot is 150% normal (144dpi). The font in both is Consolas. It's not a clear type issue. When an app doesn't opt-in to DPI awareness Windows just scales the visuals. I think this is just a matter of calling user32!SetProcessDPIAware early near the app's entry point, or embedding a manifest along the lines of: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <asmv3:application xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings";> <dpiAware>true</dpiAware> </asmv3:windowsSettings> </asmv3:application> </assembly> Everything might automatically work if this was done, though it's likely bitmap images on the menus won't look right. Still I'd rather have fuzzy pictures than text :) Thanks, -Joe From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George V.

It would be great if Gvim was DPI aware. The text is fuzzy in non-96dpi on Windows Vista and 7. So far I haven't had any luck modifying this by just adding a manifest next to the exe. Picture = 1K words. Please take a few screenshots [1], save them as PNGs, upload them somewhere (such as http://imagebin.ca/), and send a link to the Vim mailing list.

Do other applications, such as Notepad or Notepad++, exhibit the same problem with the same fonts? -- /George V.
