See details at TM> http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI Great write-up, thanks! It answered my main point of confusion which was why on my Solaris box using GTK I can specify the fonts with X-server names (e.g. 9x15) but on my Linux box using GTK2 I can't. If I read your tip correctly, you imply that GTK2 font specification differs from GTK, and I assume GTK uses the older X-server fonts. It's kind of unfortunate GTK2 doesn't support both styles, but such is life I suppose. Thanks very much for all the help, Tony. Best regards, -- Mun TM> TM> TM> Best regards, TM> Tony.
