Hi, I am using gvim in X window of cygwin. I selected a font Lucida Typewriter same as I set for my windows version of gvim. Lucida Typewriter looks good in windows version of gvim, but in cygwin's gvim, it's ugly, looks like there is a space between every character and the letters are very thin. Why's the wrong? My font setting statement is,
set guifont=Lucida_Sans_Typewriter:h17:cANSI I also tried the Bitstream. When I use the menu edit->select font, I selected the bitstream versa sans mono in the font selecting dialog. This way it worked and the bitstream looked not bad ( I still need the Lucida thought ), and when I type in set guifont in the command mode to see the font name, I got the font's name guifont=Bitstream Versa Sans Mono 18 But the problem is I can not made this setting forever in vimrc file, the statement set guifont="Bitstream Versa Sans Mono 18" will put the font settting back to its default, the guifont variable was not set and became empty string. and, I also tried set guifont=Bitstream_Versa_San_Mono:h18:cANSI still cann't really got the Bitstream, but this time the guifont variable was set as expected. What can I do with cygwin's font?
