To change the font size without changing the font face (in 'nocompatible' mode):
:set guifont=
where means "hit the Tab key". Vim will fill in the current value (which
may be empty if it is still the default) with escaping backslashes if and
where needed. You can edit it in place, then hit to accept the new
value (or to abort).
If the value is empty, you'll have to do something else to find the real
value, see furter down this post.
If the value is not empty, it can still be in various formats depending on
your GUI version. If there is only one number, that's the size. If there are
several... well... one of them is usually the size. Here are a few examples:
GTK2 (but not GTK1):
:set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 11
... the size is 11 (pt).
kvim (obsolete):
:set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono/9/-1/5/50/0/0/0/1/0
... the size is 9 (pt). Keep the rest unchanged.
Photon:
:set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono:s9
... the size is 9 (pt).
Other X11 versions (including GTK1):
:set guifont=-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*
... the size is 100 (meaning, IIUC, 10.0pt).
Other (e.g. Windows):
:set guifont=Courier_New:h12:cDEFAULT
... the size is 12 (pt).
In all cases, decrease the size to make the font smaller. For "other-x11"
there is a hitch: height, or width, or both, may be specified. If the height
changes but the width doesn't, replace all numbers other than the height (as
shown above) by a single asterisk apiece.
If the current value is empty, some GUI "flavours" will accept
:set guifont=*
to set it via a menu. You'll have to find a font face that you like, and set
the size too.
If ":set guifont=*" doesn't work on your version, then you can either
recompile with GTK2 (which does accept that command), or use the following
code snippet to set a nonempty value acceptable to your particular gvim flavour:
if has("gui_running")
if has("gui_gtk2")
set gfn=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 9
elseif has("gui_photon")
set gfn=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono:s9
elseif has("gui_kde")
set gfn=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono/9/-1/5/50/0/0/0/1/0
elseif has("x11")
set gfn=-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*
else
set gfn=Lucida_Console:h9:cDEFAULT
endif
endif
Place it in your vimrc. Then you can tweak it by command-line editing (using
":set gfn=", edit-in-place, then Enter). You will, however, have to
"guess" the font face name if you want something else than what was set (or if
the above tries to set a font face which doesn't exist on your computer). (If
you have a program which can set the font via a font chooser menu, you can use
that to see which fonts are available, but remember that gvim can only use
"fixed-width" aka "monospace" fonts -- except in GTK2, where ":set gfn=*" is
legal anyway.)
Once you decide that you've found "something you like", don't forget to insert
the new value at the appropriate place in the vimrc. (You can always use ":set
gfn=", in 'nocompatible' mode, to see what you must use).
Best regards,
Tony.

Yep, that's a problem all right. However, I don't know enough about the Cygwin installation process to know what could have gone wrong. To pursue this further, I'd have to ask the folks on the cygwin mailing list. I would suggest you go to the Cygwin web site and see what you can find about this in the FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq.html) or in the mailing list archives (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/). If that doesn't get you anywhere, then read http://cygwin.com/lists.html and http://cygwin.com/problems.html, join the cygwin mailing list and post your question there. > > Something else you might do is execute > > > >vim --version [...] > Linking: > gcc -L/usr/local/lib -o vim.exe -lncurses -liconv -lintl > > > > > and will show whether or nor your vim was linked with the ncurses > > library.

Re: Edit output of external command
Is there a better (faster?) way to edit the output of an external prog in a new tab or window, than to filter the new buffer through it? :tabnew|%!svn diff Faster? Not so much. Better? for certain definitions of "Better" :) :tabnew | 0r! svn diff It doesn't involve funneling stdin into the target program which for some apps might cause problems. For svn, it shouldn't make a lick of difference. The "r!" method does have the disadvantage that in a new buffer, the extra "empty" line remains (either at the top if you just use "r!" or at the bottom if you use "0r!"). In many cases, this is unimportant. But you'll want to know about it. You can read more at :help :r! Hope this helps, -tim

Open all folds in the current fold?

vimlatex and mks
Hey
I have a problem with vimlatex and mks.
To reproduce it:
1) create a simple tex file see attachment.
2) :mks!
3) quit vim
4) vim -S Session.vim
You should see something like this (from a more complicated
tex-file ...)

Everything you need to know should be here, :help quickfix and especially here, :help make_makeprg If you already have a working Makefile, and you build your code from the shell prompt by executing "make", then you should be able to start vim in the directory where you execute "make" in the shell and simply execute :make within vim. If that doesn't work, then tell us exactly what you tried and exactly what the results were. As for support for HP's aCC, there is a compiler plugin already for that compiler, $VIMRUNTIME/compiler/hp_acc.vim. You can invoke the settings in that file by executing :compiler! hp_acc Do that before you execute ":make". See :help :compiler Regards, Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Mobile Broadband Division | Spokane, Washington, USA

RE: how to ..... compiler
Hi vimmers, Any help for my query? Regards Jagpreet -Original Message- From: Jagpreet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 3:00 PM To: vim@vim.org Subject: how to . compiler Hi There, I can't make use of built-in compiler facility in vim. Tried the help files(quickfix and FAQ) as well but couldn't get much about the same. I want to compile a project, where the files are distributed among different directories. I have my own makefile but want to make use of vim's facility for the same ( much like turbo C where U get a spilte window where errors are marked). Further I came across a script http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=213 which provides similar kinda utility about the same. But again not much details mentioned in the doc file(csupport.txt) about external make. How can I run my makefile(external) within vim. Further How to check and add ,if missing, compiler support in vim( say HP-UX xompiler aCC). I'm using Console version of vim via putty. Regards, Jagpreet
