How to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
You can't, unless you're using gvim with GTK2 (on X11 which normally
means Unix-like but not macvim) and even on GTK2 non-monospace fonts
look ugly, because the fixed characer cell makes "thin" letters (i, l,
etc.) look too widely spaced, and it makes "thick" letters (m etc.)
appear cramped.
When built with a widget set other than GTK2, gvim will only accept
monospace fonts. This includes Windows and macvim.
Also, Vim 7.2 is obsolete by now. Vim 7.3 was released on 15 August
2010, and since then it has already received 353 bug fixes, see
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README
On Windows, I recommend "Vim without Cream", the "Vim" package available
(separately from Cream) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/
On Mac OSX, I recommend macvim, but you should get the details from the
vim_mac list, I don't know them.
On Linux and other Unix-like systems other than Mac OSX, I recommend
compiling your own Vim, see
