I’m using vim to write « literature » texts. Not code (ok I
use vim for editing my linux config too…) but dense texts.
Lines are longs, I use warp, so it make me large blocs of
texts. Hard to read. For me the solution would be to be able
to set the line spacing (and maybe non-propotional fonts, it’s
an other subject) to something like 1,5 or 2.
In gvim (not sure you can do it in (non-g)vim, though your
terminal may offer some similar setting), you can set the
'linespace' option to something other than 0 for wider leading.
:help 'linespace'
:set lsp=10 "or whatever feels comfortable to you
The units are pixels.
As an aside, I've found that some GUI fonts leave artifacts that
gvim doesn't clean up (mostly noticed on Win32, but I tend to use
(non-g)vim most of the time on *nix, so I can't speak much to
gvim-on-*nix visual artifacts), but that setting a larger 'lsp'
value helps it clean them up.
There's a parallel thread on the ML regarding monospaced vs.
proportional fonts -- I believe in one of the environments
(GTK2?) you can specify that vim *displays* a proportional font,
but it does it in a monospaced fashion which just looks *REALLY*
ugly, IMHO :)
Hope this helps,
