Sounds like you found one you like. When I looked for this some time ago I found this posting: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/6/11739/5249 Which led me to use bitstream. So I downloaded it and setup the following in my .vimrc (Windows in this case). " Change default FONT /*{{{*/ " Bitstream Vera Fonts, downloaded from: " http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ " http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ if has('win32') if filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Vera.ttf') " If running on drastically different resolution monitors " this will set the font based which screen you are " currently on. This assumes the monitor above you has " a higher resolution. let fontsize = (getwinposx()<0 ? '11' : '9') " For normal 11 point font " set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:cANSI " For bold 11 point font echomsg 'fontsize:'.fontsize.' posx:'.getwinposx() exec 'set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h'.fontsize.':b:cANSI' elseif filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Raize.fon') " Raize (12 pt bold) set guifont=Raize:h12:b:cANSI endif endif Just more stuff to add to the mix.
