if you mean normal vi inside of an xterm, you need to add a line to your
.Xdefaults file like:
xterm*Font: 6x13
Except you probably want something bigger.
If you're talking about gvim, you need to add a line to .gvimrc like:
set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
Except pick whatever font you like (use xfontsel to do that).
