As I said, it is possible.

Which GUI are you using? I'm on GTK2/GNOME2 and an experiment that I did showed that font= is ignored anywhere other than for the Normal group, and that there it is equivalent with 'guifont'. IOW, adding font= either changes nothing, setting no font, or (for Normal) sets the font everywhere.


Does the conclusion assume that one wants to continue using Vim
as an editor while using different sized fonts?  My purpose is just
to have Vim create a display, with different parts of the display
being of different font sizes.

Depends on what exactly you want. It works more or less ok, if the font
size doesn't vary too much, because otherwise, since the character cells
do not change, the font might look to wide or too narrow.

Best,
Christian


Best regards,
