For the first one remove the spaces  Whitespace matters for the set command   set guifont Monaco h20   For the second one it should be  the h specifies the height   set guifont Monospace h20   My recommendation for setting the font is to do  if your version supports it   set guifont     This will pop up a menu that allows you to select the font  After selecting the font  type  set guifont    To show what the current guifont is set to  After that copy that line into your vimrc or gvimrc  If there are spaces in the font add a   to escape the space   set guifont Monospace  20
