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.
(In reply to comment #2) > 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.
