I'm trying to set the font in my .gvimrc for gvim (Vim with GTK interface). One of the neat things about gvim is that it supports using truetype unicode fonts, such as Bitstream Vera. I can set the font manually in a gvim session using ':set guifont=*', then choosing the font in the dialog box. After that, I can retrieve the font chosen using ':set guifont', prints 'guifont=Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 18' (for example). Typing in 'set guifont=Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 18' has no does not work (the error suggests that the spaces are confusing the command where to break the arguments). That makes some sense. But the logical variation 'set guifont="Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 18"' does not work either: it in fact resets the font to the default value. Placing that same command line in .vimrc or .gvimrc has no effect. Can anyone suggest a solution to my frustration?
