Thank you for the various responses. This font is definitely not FixedSys as someone else also pointed out (if you look closely, the 'q' has a little horizontal bar below it, while FixedSys does not). I searched a lot on Console font, but couldn't find a place to download it. I am using Windows XP and it doesn't have this font with it by default. I am hoping it should be free since it comes with the default installation of Linux. Can anyone please point to me where to download it from?

This isn't very related to Vim, but I found this font on Vim's wikipedia webpage: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Vim-%28logiciel%29-c onsole.png Can anyone identify this font for me? It looks very good for programming. Eww. That dates back to the crappy default IBM font cooked into the BIOS for CGA monitors (typically at FFA6E in memory... *scary* I still remember that). I used to rip out that crappy font and put my own in, and recook my video boards' EPROMs with my new fonts, just so I'd never ever *ever* *EVER* have to see that ugly disgusting font even when the machine's first booting up. Yecch. shudder That being said, it's probably listed as something with system in the font name. I imagine you're not using a normal peecee, else that should be listed as one of the options for monospaced fonts. Sparc box? Anyhoo, it's listed as fixedsys here, 'though that might vary. A bunch of other people posted their favorite monospaced fonts a while ago, and some were really crisp and easy-to-look-at. I'd seriously suggest one of those over fixedsys. I go blind trying to figure out '0' from '8', etc., when I gotta work in a fake-DOS window and that's all it has available.

It also pretty clearly does not match the two suggestions at the bottom of the Wikipedia page. Just look at p, f, and d. HTH, G

It looks very good for programming. Thank you very much, That's the 80x25 font cooked into the PC ROM-BIOS. To use it on Windows: open a Dos Box, then select Alt-Space = Properties Select 80 columns, 25 lines and Full screen display. On Linux: hit Ctrl-Alt-Fn (with n in the range [1..6]), then log in with username and password. I don't think that font is available on Motorola Macs (including Power PCs). It may or may not be available in Intel Macs but I don't know how to get at it. Maybe the same way on OS X as on Linux above, I'm not sure. In both cases, you can then invoke Vim as vim (not gvim). For Windows, you'll need a console version (compiled as vim.exe) for that. On Linux, a single binary can do double duty as Console Vim and as gvim GUI.
