Ben, I tried and 4 fonts showed up: DejaVu Sans, Monospace, Sans, Serif, same as if I use GUI's menu to set the font. I have tried each of them but it does not work either. I wishes I had the root access to our company linux servers so that I could compile vim with multi-byte disabled. Too many libraries/headers are missing for me to compile gvim myself.
Thank you very much for your help anyway! Alex.
