Hello!
I thought I'd share the "solution" to "what happened to luxi mono?",
just in case anyone else was being afflicted in a similar fashion:
* symptom: the font I prefer to use, Luxi Mono Bold 11, was no longer
available (I use a lot of math-oriented utf-8 characters, which Luxi
Mono supports well)
* Turns out that I wasn't getting gnome-gtk2 anymore during new
compiles; instead, I was getting motif, hence no luxi mono
* I get "automatic updates" on my system (Scientific Linux 6.4) (not
that I want them, its just the way It Has To Be on my government computer)
* fallback solution: I compiled vim on my home computer (SL6.3) and
brought the executable to work (via ftp, since we're not to use
flashsticks anymore)
* new symptom, just happened a day or two ago: I was not getting any vim
menus.
* tried a backup version of vim (also compiled on my home computer) from
a month ago -- it too exhibited the "no vim menu" issue. That vim
certainly didn't used to have that problem...
* all versions of vim tried had +menu and has("gui_running") was true
* got suspicious that auto-updating was involved, so I recompiled vim on
my work computer, which I haven't bothered to do for many months. It
successfully compiled with gtk and had menus!
So, thanks goes to whomever fixed the gtk system on SL6.4.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
