Recently someone wants me to post the solutions of this.
I just want to change the font when vim is launched in vimdiff mode, since you'll not be able to change the font later while retain the 1:1 split, (in other cases, I can change the font before :diffs)
Just add something like the following in .gvimrc:
Of course, your fonts may vary.
" Font must be set in .gvimrc
let in_diff_mode = 0
windo let in_diff_mode = in_diff_mode + &l;:diff
set guifont=Lucida_Console:h15:cDEFAULT
" In diff mode
if in_diff_mode == 1
set guifont=isi_ansi:h14:cDEFAULT
endif
unlet in_diff_mode
<< Add your note files to vim's help system. |
Expand #* search to grep-find >>

"Here are some settings for diff mode, the colors are troublesome.
if &diff;
:set diffopt=filler,iwhite,icase,context:6
":windo! set wrap
" hi diffchange ctermbg=0 .. is black on unix
:hi diffchange term=NONE ctermbg=3 ctermfg=5
:hi diffdelete term=NONE ctermbg=0
:hi diffadd term=NONE ctermbg=1 ctermfg=15
if $TERM =~ "xterm"
:hi diffchange ctermbg=8 ctermfg=1
:hi difftext ctermbg=8 ctermfg=7
:hi diffadd ctermbg=8 ctermfg=11
endif
endif

Nice Tip! But is there any reason not to test for the value of &l;:diff directly? In my .gvimrc the following lines seem to work:
if &l;:diff
set guifont=Monaco:h9
else
set guifont=Monaco:h11
endif

Thank you, I have been looking for information on how to set the font size to much larger on a MacOSX installation of Vim.app.
This worked finally:
set guifont=Monaco:h18
