| Code: | | set guifont=Monospace\ 12 |
should work for gVim. AFAIK text mode vim just uses the console font supplied to it with no option to change it. |

| You just can't go wrong with Bitstream Vera fonts. They are in my opinion one of the best free fonts that I have seen, and rival adobe's commercial fonts. So mark down another for bitstream vera sans mono (or something like that). |

Bitstream Vera Mono - I don't use any other fonts now than the Bitstream Vera set (well, Garamond and the LaTeX fonts for printing). 10pt at 1600Ã1024 on a 19" monitor gives characters about 4mm high which just feels right - I could cope with a smaller point size but I just don't feel I need to.

|
|
ah, for my gnometerminal I use FixedSYS TTF, 11pt
On some sizes it looks horrible, and I can't get it right in aterm, but with AA in gnometerminal it r0cks 
it gives you the ms-dos look, now don't start screaming, I just like the font, and has slashed zeros.
ay, forgot to mention, it is the free-downloadable-variant, available here: http://fixedsys.moviecorner.de/

Like Valen mentioned, console/xterm vim can't change fonts. But GTK and a few other flavors of gvim can make use of the toolkit's font selector:
You can then use :set guifont to see what it is, and add it to ~/.gvimrc for future use.
You can even get unnecessarily clever:
| Code: | if has("gui_kde")
" Possibly obsolete, given it was set when I gave KDE/kvim a shot when 3.1 came out
set guifont=Courier\ New/9/-1/5/48/0/0/0/1/0
elseif has("gui_gtk2")
set guifont=Kochi\ Mincho\ 8
else
set guifont=fixed
endif |

I use bitstream vera in bluefish, gedit, and vim/gvim on linux, and I also use it in Dev-Cpp on windows.
This font fscking owns all for writing any kind of code <3 |

I can't get any of those fonts working under emacs. And I'm really sick of courier-12.
KDE and GTK apps find them, and work OK with them. But emacs (no flames, plz) doesn't find them.
Nor emacs, nor xfontsel, nor xlsfonts.
These are the dirs listed on my /etc/fonts/local.conf:
| Code: | <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/freefont</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/corefonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera</dir> |
And FontPath's on /etc/X11/XF86Config:
| Code: | FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefont/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/" |
I've set up (and stopped) XFS. However I don't manage xfonsel to detect bitstream, andale mono and others.

I've tried it too. With no success.
Any help would be appreciated. |
