Re: Strange font rendering in gVIM 7.3 in Unix

Thanks a lot, Tony. I will experiment with that.
Also I noticed the color scheme is not loaded right.
With the same color scheme specified, what showed up in VIM7.2 is
different from what is showed up in VIM7.3. Like in the examples of my
first post.
Do you happen to have an idea what maybe wrong?
