On: Vim ported to iOS

As explained on the splashscreen, they've remapped that to backslash. I suspect it'd be much more useful with a BT keyboard - lack of ctrl and tab for a start.

The font is pretty ugly too - I can't easily tell the difference between q and g.

However, it is a neat hack, if not very usable.

This commit [1] seems to indicate that it's possible to change the font.

However, I can't actually figure out a way to do so; ":set guifont" doesn't appear to work.

Hi :-) I added font support pretty much at the last minute. Here's an example of something that should work ":set guifont=Courier:h14"

It doesn't seem retina optimized. The font is horrendous on my iPhone 4.

Actually it is (or it should be. Just file a bug if it doesn't work for you). By default anti-aliasing is disabled, but you can toggle it on.
