Background
I am running Arch Linux with the i3 WM. I am trying to customize the font in Xterm by editing ~/.Xresources as every online resource online has told me to.
What i have done
I add the following lines to .Xresources
*xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
*xterm*faceSize: 10
Then in xterm i run
xrdb ~/.Xresources
Then i start a new xterm and the font has successfully changed.
The Problem
I go to edit a document by opening it in vim. When i push 'i' to enter insert mode the whole font changes, it becomes larger and a completely different font face.
I have searched everywhere online but was unable to find anyone with a similar problem. I want to keep the same font face and size everywhere.
1It could be a plug-in, (mis)using xterm's escape sequence for switching font-sizes. I'd start vim without plugins and add them by one-by-one to isolate the problem. – Thomas Dickey – 2016-02-06T00:29:44.503
