I just downloaded the source and built VIM and GVIM
on AIX 5.3.

When I invoke gvim, I get the following "warning":

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet

Any idea how I can get rid of the warnings...???

FYI:
$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=


Thanks,

Don't set the 'guifontset' option, set 'guifont' instead, and not
exactly to the above setting (but don't set it too narrowly, see
http://vim.wikia.org/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI ). 'guifontwide'
can also be left empty in most cases.

Also, which GUI flavour are you using? If GTK1, I recommend upgrading to
GTK2 which can find missing glyphs by borrowing from any font installed
on your system. (Its 'guifont' format is different though.)


Best regards,
Tony.
