- No, there is no "fix", Vim is essentially monospace-only. On X11
systems ONLY, you can use gvim with GTK2, which will accept any font but
the non-monospaced ones will look ugly.
- "Bitsteram Vera Mono" doesn't exist. Try "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono".
- On some systems you can use ":set gfn=*" (without the quotes) to see
all the fonts which gvim knows about.
- See http://vim/wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI for details.

As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

'Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.'
