Sampan,
How did you install Txtfmt? I just downloaded and installed the latest
version (2.4) and tested with Vim 7.3, to be sure there were no problems
with the package file; I saw no issues. I installed as follows...

cd ~/.vim
tar -xzvf ~/Download/txtfmt_v2.4.tar.gz

Note that the easiest way to test is to run...

:MakeTestPage

...which, as the name suggests, makes a test page containing all
possible color/format permutations. Of course, you should also be able
simply to `set ft=txtfmt', as you seem to have done. I tested both
methods just now. Can you tell me what sort of errors you're seeing. The
first few errors should be the most enlightening.

Thanks,
Brett Stahlman
