There is no collision. Simplifying, you can think of "Monospace" as an alias to a "real" name, that looks something like this: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 There are standard mechanisms to change these aliases, which allows things like themes and skins to take effect on all programs system-wide. Nothing stops you to alias "Monospace" to a proportional width font, but then you deserve what you get. :) /lcd -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
