Thanks, those details and the screenshots help a lot. I'm not 100% certain your "set guifont" line in your .vimrc is doing what you want; the exact string needed depends very much on your system. Can you try, from gvim, the following command to select a font? :set guifont=* This should bring up a dialog where you can choose a font from a list of supported fonts and sizes. If selecting a font in this way makes your issue go away, do: :set guifont? or :echo getfontname() to see what string you should put in your .vimrc to set the font permanently. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_font if any of this confuses you. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
