Currently, gvim for GTK2 (on Unix-like OSes) can use any font installed
on the system, but if the font is not monospaced (i.e., if its glyphs
are not all the same width), the result will be ugly. That's because
gvim (and Vim in general) uses a fixed-size character cell (which, in
gvim, may vary from one font to another). If the font is not monospaced,
glyphs narrower than the cell will be "spaced out" with
background-colored "empty" pixels and/or glyphs wider than the cell (or
than twice the cell in the case of "wide" CJK characters) will be cut
off at the cell border. The only solution is to choose a different font.
Other gvim flavours will only accept 'guifont' values which designate a
monospaced font. If you hack the code to accept any font, you'll get the
same ugly results as described above if you try to use a variable-width
font. That's no fault of gvim, it's your fault, for trying to use an
unsuitable font.
Best regards,
Tony.
