Hi, Tony and John, As I posted in my first email, I am also setting the guifont *before* the "columns and lines" setting.
I think I find out where those strange lines and columns number are from after I check the "columns" and "lines"settings in the gvim opened from my "urxvt" terminal. It used the same geometry of the "urxvt" window as its "lines x columns", no matter what I set them in .vimrc. I am a bit busy right now so cannot figure it out right now. I will get back to this issue in the coming days. Thanks, Zhaojun On 4/30/07, John Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You had my hopes up for a moment there Tony, as I raced to my vimrc... but alas, definitely setting guifont before lines and columns (and winpos). I'm probably doing something else odd, but I've no idea what.
