I guess it depends on your definition of acceptable, or what font you're trying to use. My first choice, coming from Linux, would have been 9x18.pcf, a beautiful bitmap font from X11 misc. I wrestled with FontForge and similar programs for a while, trying to convert it into a format useable by Terminal or iTerm, but I failed miserably :-( You can find traces of my struggle on FontForge's and Apple's mailing lists. At last I settled with Andale Mono 15, un-antialiased. It's not as nice as 9x18, but it does the job, and it looks the same on all programs I've used it on (Terminal, iTerm, and MacVim.) Another free nice font is Inconsolata, to be used antialiased: http://www.hashref.com/images/inconsolata.png Are you having this problem only with Bistream Vera Mono? Do Apple's font look different on iTerm than on Terminal? Maybe it's a problem with the specific font, or the way it's been prepared for the Mac. Most importantly, this is all not very relevant to MacVim ;-) Tobia --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
