Thank you Tony.
I was able to set the font Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 11 etc as
suggested by the wikia. but I was not able to specify the font I
wanted.
Do you know why GTK2 can only find a subset of the fonts? thanks.


GTK2 ought to be able to find all the fonts installed on your computer, but it names them differently than GTK1.

Try

        :set gfn=*

which will give you a dialog where you can choose any installed font as your 'guifont'.

*Warning* In gvim with GTK2 GUI, you can select a proportional font, but it will look ugly, with too much blank space around thin letters like i or l, and/or too little room around thick ones like m or M, especially if "thin" letters happen next to each other as in 'illit' or "thick" ones as in "Hmmmm...".


Best regards,
Tony.
