title: Mac Vim: How can I change the default text color to be green? Default font? Macvim manual?
body: <p>I have installed MacVim but I cannot figure out how to do some formatting things.  </p>
  
  <p>The screen shot below shows: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the file class1.jak (custom file type I have defined) open in both macvim and vim</li>
  <li>the left one is macvim </li>
  <li>the right one is the terminal</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is what I would like to do:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The default color of my terminal is green.  I would like the default text color to be green for mac vim as well.  </p></li>
  <li><p>The font is strange in macvim.  How can I change that.</p></li>
  <li><p>I think that both of these are very basic macvim questions but I could not find a really good mac vim reference.  I read the <code>:help macvim</code> but I didn't find it that helpful.  What should I read to understand macvim formatting and features better?  Is there a tutorial somewhere?  I feel pretty happy with my vim skills in general but this is the first gvim I have used.  </p></li>
  </ol>

  <p>This is my <code>.gvimrc</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set background=dark
  set go-=T
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the color scheme for .jak files located in (<code>~/.vim/syntax/jak.vim</code>):</p>
