gvim question
Using te graphical version of vim (gvim), does anyone know how to change
the font size?
I'm working on plain text files so I don't want to store font commands in
the text. My vision just isn't what it used to be and I want to use a
larger font.

Or you could run the text only version in a bigger terminal window...I'm working on plain text files so I don't want to store font commands in

To make it permanent you need to do something like "set guifont=XXX" inside

Hi Rob
I found this. And I know how to set things in .gvimrc.
However, when I select a font with the pop up dialog and then examine it
with ":set guifont", all it shows is "set guifont=*". If I try to put
that into the .gvimrc file, it not only doesn't bring up the pop up menu,
it fails to load at all.
I don't know how to format the string that needs to come after the
guifont=. And gvim isn't being very helpful.
But thanks for trying.

Yes, I have the source but I don't have the time.
One day, maybe.

The FAQ says you query it with:However, when I select a font with the pop up dialog and then examine it
with ":set guifont", all it shows is "set guifont=*". If I try to put

Right, but it doesn't show you how to format the font name string.
And, if you use te pop up menu, all :set guifont shows is:
:set guifont=*
