Too large font in gvim

[ostrolucky]

I installed spf13-vim and I found out font in gvim is too large as opposed to vim. In attachment below is comparison between gvim (left) and vim (right). Is this correct default behaviour?

It happened to me the same. The first thing I did was to change that
setting. It was easy enough, but I guess many people would have the same
problem. I think a smaller default (to match standard terminal) might be
better.

Just for the next person that stumbles onto this issue, I simply set the following in the .vimrc.before.local to fix it:

let g:spf13_no_big_font=1

Based on https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/blob/3.0/.vimrc#L859

I wonder why the "BIG FONT" is default? Seems like a strange choice to me. If you want to make it clear that you are in gvim why not switch solarized to light or something?

Big is relative. Big is only 16pt font in the config.
https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/blob/3.0/.vimrc#L861

Depending on a lot of other things 16pt could be just right, or could be huge. On my laptop in macvim this setting provides me 50 lines on screen at my normal resolution (1050 px tall).

My standard terminal gives me 60 lines, so it is a bit larger in the visual mode, but not much.

Perhaps we need a smaller default setting for linux.

How to change spf13-vim guifont?

[qrees]

For 768px tall it provides 23 lines of text, which I think is definitely to little. In most use case 16pt font is quite big. Standard font size for normal text (not headers, titles etc.) is something like 12pt.

I am used spf13 and it was my introduction to vim. This was one of the two
or three non automatic things and the only one that looked broken.

This makes gvim look broken with spf13. A better detail would be good!

I've confirmed this issue. I installed the latest ubuntu and then spf13-vim and the font was HUGE.. Much bigger than on the mac or windows or other linuxes I've tried. We should definitely correct this.

Thank you!
