This sure sounds like a lead, though! ... %=20 % The fonts aren't supposed to be visually identical, as they are potential= ly=20 % different fonts being draw by different renderers. But the sizes should = be=20 % approximately the same. OK. That makes sense. %=20 % Let me try asking the question a different way: Does 'xfd -fa=20 % "Courier-10:style=3DBold"' show a reasonably sized font at the same time = as=20 % gvim, with that font set, doesn't? (In which case one might conclude this= =20 % is probably a gvim bug) They are quite similar. Interestingly, however, trying Courier-18:style=3DBold Courier-24 Courier-48:style=3DItalic all look exactly identical (and the latter nonetheless shows "Regular" at the top). When I 'select a character' they all show "width: 6" and "(font 7,2)"; the Bolds show "left 0" while the Regulars show "left 1". Could the fonts all be coming from the same source instead of being sized properly, maybe? %=20 % I don't think this is quite the same problem as reported by Fr=E9d=E9ric = Bron,=20 % as you don't seem to be using -resize.
