Font size matters!

cd ~
vim .vimrc

then
add the line below:

set guifont=Monaco:h18

That's it.

Brian:

If you need to show your editor to window to coworkers or frequently present code over a projector, a quick way to switch font sizes can be helpful.

You might add a variant of the following mappings to your vimrc:

map <leader>sf :set guifont=Lucida\ Console:h7<cr> map <leader>bf :set guifont=Lucida\ Console:h18<cr>

If you have the default Leader of slash, \sf (mnemonic: small font) will shrink your text and \bf (mnemonic: big font) will embiggen your text.
