title: Set MacVim default font
body: <p>How do I set the default font for MacVim?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried adding the following line</p>
  
  <pre><code>set guifont = Monaco:h12
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to either of the following files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>~/.vimrc
  ~/.gvimrc
  ~/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/vimrc
  ~/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/gvimrc
  ~/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/.vimrc
  ~/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/.gvimrc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I restarted MacVim, but it still won't set the default font. Anything I missed?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I can issue the <code>set guifont</code> command in runtime and it works fine. It just doesn't seem to read it off my startup files.</p>
