Hello I compiled vim on a debian server and installed in in my home folder (~/usr/local), but the resulting executable can see no fonts when I press Tab on :set guifont=<Tab> and the default font is looking too condensed. The Edit menu has no GUI Font entry.
I use ssh -Y to run gvim on my local desktop (with Ubuntu 9.10). fc-list shows many, many fonts installed (also locally in my home folder) on the server, and the desktop machine also has a GUI desktop with all the fonts. My :version is :version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Nov 27 2009 14:45:34) Compiled by adri...@web3.storm.lan Normal version with X11-Athena GUI.
