I always found the X-windows fonts a bit of a mystery. Xfontsel shows a cryptic font naming convention with fields that I've never been able to find a complete and satisfactory explanation for. But I'm sure that font design is complicated business, so my cmoplaint boils down to the fact that there seems to be a dearth of online documentation that makes this art accessible and comprehensible to the knuckle dragging joe.
However. I'm finding that cygwin's gvim no longer seems to use the same cryptic font names as xfontsel. They are much simpler names. So it seems that gvim doesn't use the X-window fonts. I'm at a loss for how to select cygwin packages that will expand my font options in gvim. Can anyone please explain? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
