Change font size macvim

font-sizemacvim

I'm using macvim and I love it. I also happen to really like the default font.

My question is:

How do I change the font size in my .gvimrc? I want it to be bigger, without changing the font from the default.

All the examples I've seen specify a font then a ':' then the size.

So how do I just change the size not the font itself?

Thanks!

The default font is Bitstream Vera (search for 'default font' on that page). So why not just specify that, but with a different font size? E.g.

:set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono:h14

This approach also ensures that if in future the default changes (e.g. to the system default, Monaco), you will still have your preferred font enabled.
