I haven't loaded any Cygwin updates. I haven't loaded any Windows updates. I still get nothing from xrdb. I've rebooted more times than I can remember. I'm using the same user account. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. But suddenly it works! After this morning's reboot, I was restarting everything (always a chore under Windows *sigh*) and on a lark tried gvim again. I was floored to see it come up quite visibly, and even with some font I didn't quite recognize. Typing :set guifont showed me that it was sans, which is interesting but probably came from not being able to find Lucida Console on my machine. I changed my guifont line in my .vimrc file to Courier Bold and it worked just fine. I ripped it out entirely and I go tthe familiar gvim font. I played with the size in my guifont line and gvim behaved. I selected my font in gvim itself countless times and it behaved. WTF?!? I hate these kinds of errors because it's so incredibly hard to get a real resolution to the problem, but I'll not turn down having my gvim work again :-) Thanks to all for trying to help! :-D --=20 David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 187 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFMwrYlGb7uCXufRwARAhSbAJ0dGCJEtpmhp5w12TimMeEb8tmsRwCfVVOq GaL/TVFWKnYdSmNFAcAR//s= =XovZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/--
