9 The gtk2 version of gvim relies on gnome's fontconfig, etc. To get all
10 your bitmap fonts, make sure you have the following lines in
11 /etc/fonts/local.conf:
12
13 <fontconfig>
14 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/lfp-fix</dir>
15 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/lfp-var</dir>
16 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir>
17 <dir>/usr/share/fonts/artwiz</dir>
18 </fontconfig>

20 or something similar. Additionally I use xfs personally, since that
21 seems to make the fc-cache stuff work well. But spider/foser might have
22 better suggestions on that front.

30 If you build this way then you'll get either the motif version or the
31 Athena widgets version.

33 I've recently fixed the DEPEND string in the gvim ebuilds. You might
34 consider syncing and rebuilding. If the problem persists, then please
35 file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org
