[uug] Gvim fonts screwed up

[Jacob Fugal]

Ok, I'm in the middle of a gentoo world update, and I think something 
that's only part done has screwed up my fonts in gvim. Actually, I know 
have a much larger selection of nicer looking fonts than I did before. 
However, no matter what font I chose, even standard Arial or Monotype or 
Courier, whatever, the letter spacing is quite wide. like 50% of a 
character width between characters. This makes it quite difficult to 
work, for me. I trust the problem is just because gentoo has changed 
somethings but not everything. When the 'emerge -u world' finishes 
(maybe as far away as tomorrow, given my internet connection, which is 
*very* flaky) it should be fine -- but obviously I can't really wait 
that long. Any one have any ideas of what package I should immediately 
update to fix this, or some other workaround?

P.S. I'm not 100% sure that it's gentoo's fault, but gvim was fine 
friday afternoon, then I started the emerge -u world over the weekend 
and when I came into work this morning, gvim was all funky. So I'm 
pretty suspect.

P.P.S. For the gentoo criticizers, I've been pretty happy with gentoo, 
as much so as any other distribution. The only reason the emerge -u 
world didn't work over the weekend is because our flaky internet 
connection went away for long enough that a package download failed and 
gentoo happily gave up waiting for more instructions. I anticipate 
having to resume the update every morning until it's done.
