Hello Neil,
This is strange because gVim uses built-in X fonts (i.e. 7x13) if can't
find anything else; and your X is running normally, which couldn't be
without any font available. So:
(1) 'xlsfonts' gives what?
(2) Could you please send here a relevant part of ~/.gvimrc? (Also
try to start gVim without it.)
(3) How did you compile gVim, with WITH_GTK2, or?
It's certainly not related to your gVim problem, but as of your
xorg.conf, do you have any special reason for commenting out RgbPath
and Type1 FontPath?
