Hi all
I've been using the new 'Consolas' font from the Vista font pack for
my vim editing on my Mac for a month or so without problems. This
font looks amazing, but _only_ when anti-aliased, otherwise it looks
like a mess.
The other day, I setup a second mac here, and was trying to get it to
render Consolas the same as on my first machine. It simply refuses to
render properly. See http://dagsolutions.ca/vim_brokenfonts1.png and
http://dagsolutions.ca/vim_brokenfonts2.png for the working and
non-working screenshots respectively. I've got a terminal running top
in the background, using Consolas as well, to show that the font works
equally well on both machines in Terminal.app.
I'm also showing my .gvimrc in those screenshots; it is identical.
The output of :set is identical as well.
Anyone have suggestions? The only thing that I can think of is that
my second mac doesn't support CoreImage, but I am not familiar with
what method vim uses for font rendering so don't know whether or not
that would have any effect.
Thanks
Dave
I thought Consolas was a Windows/VS font only according to the license?
It must be CoreImage. I know that Consolas is an anti-alias font by
design. Look at macvim.org and see about the OSX settings on there.
There are a couple of suggestions regarding fonts.
