You probably just replaced your old version of gvim (6.1) with 6.2 which is gtk2 based. This means that gvim will only use fonts provided by fontconfig. I added this line to /etc/fonts/local.conf <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> and then used: set guifont=Fixed\ 9 to set it properly in gvim. -- --------------------------------+----------------------------------- Byron Clark | http://www.byronandannie.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] | --------------------------------+----------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 0365 6979 6C3E BC0C 56C0 FB7F 12B3 75DD 042B EA68
