[gentoo-user] Can't start gvim

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

I've now been unable to start gvim for a few months. It is complaining
about missing fontsets (whatever that means). I've pasted the terminal
output here:

   colding@omc-2 ~/work/src/brutus/idl/products/evolution/2.4 $ gvim
   Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
   Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
   Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
   Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
   Error: Aborting: no fontset found

Any idea on how to make gvim happy?

Thanks,
  jules
