Hello again, Tony, thanks for the information. As it appears the solution to my problem was already posted on the 'vim-mac' mailing list. Apparently "In the original code, antialiasing is intentionally turned off with ATSUI rengering, because it causes problems [...]" (a quote from the post with the solution). Anyway, if anyone is interested the whole thing is described here (two patches to source code of vim): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vim-mac&m=114907838112145&w=2 and works very well. At least on two Macs I have access to ;-) All the best, -- Wojciech Grzemski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "On Margate Sands..."
