I'd like to select a small font for gvim so that I can maximize vim window and use two 80-column window inside of it without xterm. That way I need a font at 6 pixel wide. I cannot found such a font. in xfontsel I select 6 for pxlsz and only two fonts are available: "clean" and "fixed", both are two small to be readable at 6 pixel (then what font xterm is using that is readable even at 6 pixel??) and both are not selectable in gvim's choose font dialog.
Way to read the post Joe...
Anyway, Zhang, my favorite font for this is neep, it's in the xfonts-jmk font package. Give it a try.
Thank you for suggestion from both Andy and Joe. Now I have a version of vim with X11 GUI installed and I quite like it. I also tried neep font (with X11 version of gvim I can use -fn to specify neep ), I am surprised to find if I specify '11' as pxlsz I get some fonts less than 6-pixel wide, so probably by pxlsz xfontsel is only trying to tell me the height of the font. Actually after I have tried, even pxlsz=13, neep give me 166 columns per line when gvim maximized, right suit me need. Thanks to you both. For newbie on this list, this is what I did 1) download latest vim source 2) 'cd src' and then 'make', then su to root, run 'make install'; 3) launch vim by using /usr/local/bin/gvim -fn '-*-neep-*-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
