In gvim setting font size to 12 is not permanent and it is reverting back to 10 when I open gvim again

  • 772

I am using Xubuntu 16.04

In gvim, by going to Edit ---> Select font I am selecting the font size 12. But after I close gvim and open gvim again I see that the font size has gone back to 10.

How can I set the font size to 12 permanently?

16.04

  1. You can set the GVim font in either your ~/.vimrc, or in ~/.gvimrc using:

    set guifont=Ubuntu\ Mono\ 13

    However, if you use ~/.vimrc, then you need to ensure that it is only run for GVim, and not for regular command-line Vim:

    if has("gui_running")
  if has("gui_gtk2")
   set guifont=Ubuntu\ Mono\ for\ Powerline\ 13
  endif
endif

    See :h 'guifont' for more.
