The font gvim uses when printing is annoyingly faint.
The font gedit uses works for me.
How do I find out what font gedit is
using and tell gvim to use that font?
I'm running F35.
In gedit, one help page for font is at
/usr/share/help/en_GB/gedit/gedit-change-default-font.page
In there, it give instruction about how to use gedit itself to select a
new font.

It will be prettier if you view it in a browser.
In gvim, the font is selected in .gvimrc, the configuration file.
Something like
set gfn=Terminus\ Bold\ 14
So, find the font name in gedit, and add it to the .gvimrc file.
You can find the files contained in a package, say gedit, by
rpm -q --filesbypkg gedit
I've been wanting to change the display font in gvim for some time,
though it was not a priority. Though this thread is about the print
font rather than the display font, it did help me to finally get the
display font changed. Thank-you!
