I just discovered that the font is not Sans regular 12 on Vim6.3 because
when I use :set guifont=* although that is the font that is highlighted,
if I actually apply it then the font changes (to Sans regular 12) and to
change it back I have to use :set guifont=
with no argument, so I guess I must be displaying the default font or
something?
1. In vim6.3 , try
:set guifont?
and select the font name with mouse
2. In vim7, try
:set guifont=xxx
where xxx if font name as you selected it from vim6.3
If you get the right font, then put this :set guifont=xxx line into .vimrc
