For debian9, the setting in .vimrc take effect for gvim.
set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 14
For win7,the setting in _vimrc take no effect for gvim at all.
I open gvim in my win7,
:set guifont?
The result is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,but i find that the character inputed in my gvim in win7 is not Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,why?
How to set gui's font in win7
See: :help guifont:
[...]
The font name depends on the GUI used.
[...]
For the Win32 GUI
takes these options in the font name:>
- hXX - height is XX (points, can be floating-point)
- wXX - width is XX (points, can be floating-point)
- b - bold
- i - italic
- u - underline
- s - strikeout
- cXX - character set XX. Valid charsets are: ANSI, ARABIC, BALTIC, CHINESEBIG5, DEFAULT, EASTEUROPE, GB2312, GREEK, HANGEUL, HEBREW, JOHAB, MAC, OEM, RUSSIAN, SHIFTJIS, SYMBOL, THAI, TURKISH, VIETNAMESE ANSI and BALTIC. Normally you would use "cDEFAULT".
Use a ':' to separate the options.
A '_' can be used in the place of a space, so you don't need to use backslashes to escape the spaces.
Examples:
:set guifont=courier_new:h12:w5:b:cRUSSIAN :set guifont=Andale_Mono:h7.5:w4.5
Try this:
set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h14
Note also:
For Win32, GTK, Motif, Mac OS and Photon:
:set guifont=*will bring up a font requester, where you can pick the font you want.
After doing so, you can check the output of :set guifont? again to see the correct format.
You're using the right command. You need to install the font in a way that is recognized by Windows itself and you need to specify the correct name. See :help guifont for the naming conventions.
Also, you can see all available fonts with :set guifont=*. This will open a standard font-chooser dialog.
