guifont

Hey there,

I love using macvim, and I really like the default font, but at work I recently got some bigger monitors, and I want to make the text bigger. It says in the macvim docs that it is Bitstream Vera, but trying to set the font like so:

:set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono:h16

results in an invalid font(s) error. So what is the default font then? I'm running the latest version of macvim and I am running Snow Leopard.

Thanks!!
