Fixing fonts in gVim under Windows

23 Dec

Nowadays, I was forced to work at the office doing Web Dev using Windows machine. It caused real headaches to setup some of the things from scratch to make in work like on my old Linux machine.

I haven’t thought that vim’ll look so weird from the Windows side, however gVim alternative seemed more adecvate, but the problem got me googling at the point of setting up correct fonts for the themes.

An old fonts vim plugin cause lots of errors, so I had to use SVN to get latest fixes for the Fonts.vim plugin. You can check it in the trunk of the repository; it worked perfectly for me, just copy-paste it to your \plugins\ directory, and play around the font-size.

Get your fonts organized

06 Jan

After some period of time, you realise that your ..:\windows\fonts becomes a nightmare, since you download fonts, and some of them were used only once or twice but still are kept there, and no one knows if they are going to be used again.

Today I’ve witnessed this problem in all its beauty and might; as it appeared, some of the fonts were completely malfunctioning, or simply forgot to be installed. They were unrared to ..\fonts folder and that’s it.

Few minutes of googling the web gave me the solution called The Font Thing. The program does its thing very well, the fonts are clearly represented, and the ones that don’t work are easily fixed. The navigation becomes faster and simpler!
