Bug#307158: vim-gtk: "Edit --> Select Font..." defaults to (non-monospaced) "Sans" font

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: vim-gtk
Version: 1:6.3-068+4
Severity: minor

Hello,
The selection dialogue that pops up on "Edit --> Select Font..." is
set on
--------
Family Sans
Style Regular
Size 12
--------

There are two problems with that:
* This is not the font that is used by default, i.e.
Edit --> Select Font...
followed by <Enter> or the [Ok] button will change the font.
* This font is not monospaced and therefore not usable in vim.

Sometimes I need more space and would like vim to use a tiny font
temporarily - the obvious way, "Edit --> Select Font..." and
reducing the "Size value" won't work, I am suddenly stuck with a
unusable font.

FWIW the default font (with gvim -u NONE -u NONE) seems to be
"Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman" "10".
