description

Sometimes you want to change the font size without changing the window geometry. This plugin tries to set the 'guifont', 'columns', and 'lines' to appropriate values in order to achieve this goal. You can define modes to quickly switch between your favourite gui configuration: fonts, window position and size, guioption settings etc.

install details

It is important to correctly configure the plugin because it will set the font and the window size when being loaded unless the g:scaleFontDontSetOnStartup variable was defined. Edit the vba file and type: >     :so % <   See :help vimball for details. If you have difficulties or use vim 7.0,     please make sure, you have the current version of vimball     (vimscript #1502) installed. Edit |vimrc|:     Set g:scaleFontSize, g:scaleFontWidth, and g:scaleFont according to your     likings. "#{SIZE}" and "#{WIDTH}" will be replaced with the appropriate     values. On non-Windows systems you also have to define     ScaleFontMaximizeWindow().     Examples: >         let g:scaleFontSize  = 11         let g:scaleFontWidth = 8        <   Unix: >         let g:scaleFont = "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-#{SIZE}-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15" <   Windows: >         let g:scaleFont = "Lucida_Console:h#{SIZE}:cANSI"" Check if ScaleFontMaximizeWindow() function is functional on your system. If not, redefine the function in |vimrc|. Restart vim. Also available via git http://github.com/tomtom/scalefont_vim

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
scalefont.vba.gz	1.4	2009-02-21	7.0	Tom Link	BufExec & WinExec options
scalefont.vba.gz	1.3	2008-03-07	7.0	Tom Link	- Partial rewrite for vim7.0 - Default configuration is now done with a dictionary. - On mode changes, always evaluate g:scaleFontExec__0 unless g:scaleFontAlwaysResetGuioptions is 0. - FIX: Error when switching back to Normal. - g:scaleFontMenuPrefix was replaced with g:scaleFontMenu - Load only in gui - s:ScaleFontSetSize(mode, ...): Arguments have changed
scalefont.zip	1.1	2005-04-05	6.0	Tom Link	New variable g:scaleFontExec_{MODE}, the content of which will be executed before reconfiguring the window geometry. This can be used to set guioptions as needed (e.g., for a full screen mode without menu bar and all as for NormalFull). If this variable isn't set, the variable g:scaleFontExec_0 will be executed that resets the guioptions to its initial value.  ScaleFontMaximizeWindow() is defined for OS other than Windows too (kind of). Build modes menu (see g:scaleFontMenuPrefix).
scalefont.zip	1.0	2004-12-20	6.0	Tom Link	We can now set the window/frame position too (e.g.  NormalNarrowLeft and NormalWideTop); new standard modes: NormalMax, NormalNarrowLeft, NormalWideTop, bigMax; :ScaleFont as an alias to :ScaleFontMode; removed mode "0" from the mode list
scalefont.zip	0.2	2004-10-17	6.0	Tom Link	Take care of whether the font size is increased or decreased; command line completion for ScaleFontMode; ability to define the desired lines and cols parameters per mode (if one of these variables is -1, the window will be maximized; on non-Windows systems you have to define ScaleFontMaximizeWindow() first); new standard modes "largeMax" and "LargeMax" (maximize the window)
scalefont.vim	0.1	2004-07-15	6.0	Tom Link	Initial upload
