Ok. I don’t know anything about programming ! I’ve just read that it’s pango that’s used for texts in gtk. And found it doing a realy great job (utf, liga, etc.). I well understand the importance of « fix-cell » and « grid text » for programming usage of vim and the may we move in the text. It sound logical to me. But for huge « dense » text, proportionnal will be beter. Do you think there’s a chance for the dev to made use able to use proportional fonts ? I don’t want bother devs with that since it must be one of the huge FAQ they get ;) Regards, Olivier. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
