Description Donald J. Axel 2005-12-11 10:06:03 UTC 
The fonts which one can get from the Gvim-menu, 
edit->select_font 
has been changed to something not useful when 
building the Gentoo version which seems to be
patched with VIM_GENTOO_PATCHES="vim-${PV}-gentoo-patches.tar.bz2"

I built gvim from source without patches and it works nicely.

So why the Gentoo patches?





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gvim
2. gvim xx
3. # In application menu: edit->select_font

Actual Results:  
Missing fixed(Sony)


Expected Results:  
Showed fixed(sony) among others.


I think Gvim is quite a piece of stable software.

Gentoo would be more distinguished if we did not
patch stable packages.

Nope, we don't tinker with anything related to fonts.

Glad to hear:-)) Thank you very much for your reply!

There is some difference between the way they look, the "plain" and 
the Gentoo Gvim. I will try to find out what happens and return 
if I find something interesting.
