I'd like to select a small font for gvim so that I can maximize vim

I need a font at 6 pixel wide. I cannot found such a font. in xfontsel I
select 6 for pxlsz and only two fonts are available: "clean" and
"fixed", both are two small to be readable at 6 pixel (then what font
xterm is using that is readable even at 6 pixel??) and both are not
selectable in gvim's choose font dialog.

Way to read the post Joe...

Anyway, Zhang, my favorite font for this is neep, it's in the
xfonts-jmk font package. Give it a try.
