Hi Tony,

I know the basics of changing the font, the issue here is that I believe there is a bug or an issue when vim is configured with
--enable-gui=auto or --enable-gui=gtk2

After I wrote this email I tried configuring with
--enable-gui=motif
and in that case the fonts look good. So in the same machine, using the same font I have one that looks quite good and another that looks quite bad (this is in unix, I don't know if this is also the case in cygwin).

I also tried configuring with
--enable-gui=gnome2
and the configure finished fine but then when compiling I have the error

gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DFEAT_GUI_GTK -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -DORBIT2=1 -mt -I/usr/include/libgnomeui-2.0 -I/usr/include/libgnome-2.0 -I/usr/include/libgnomecanvas-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/libart-2.0 -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/libbonoboui-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/libbonobo-2.0 -I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/include -I/usr/include/bonobo-activation-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2 -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -g -O2 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 -o objects/buffer.o buffer.c
