Cygwin/X gvim font problem

Gvim under cygwin/X was looking weird with tiny font.

I added following line in .gvimrc file and it solved the problem:

set guifont=Lucida\ Sans\ Typewriter\ Semi-Condensed\ 12

Sometimes even that gives ugly text, then try this (which is not that good, but better than others):

set guifont=LucidaTypewriter\ 13

This one looks much better:

set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 13
