Did you specifically set 'guifont' to Sans 12 or are you just assuming that's what it is because that's what the font selector has selected when you open it? > If I change the font (via Edit|Select font...) to say Bitstream Vera > Sans Mono 12, the spacing is better (and the window size changes > accordingly). > > If I then change the font back to Sans 12, the window size changes to > totally larger dimensions than the original window when the font was > Sans 12. I don't think the font was ever set to Sans 12 to begin with. Sans 12 is not a monospace font (which is why it looks so horrible). As a test, add "set guifont=Sans\ 12" to your .gvimrc and then start gvim. That should exhibit the same behavior as when you manually selected the font. Also, reading ":he 'guifont'" indicates that if 'guifont' isn't specifically set, then gvim chooses some sane default. James -- GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
