It's not possible to port MacVim to windows, as MacVim relies heavily
on OS X's APIs.
What do you mean by porting MacVim to windows? What does MacVim do
that gvim for windows doesn't do? If I recall correctly, there's some
gvim option that makes it behave more like a windows app (i.e. ctrl-c/
v/x work etc – which overrides the usual vim keybindings for these
keys (especially annoying for ctrl-v)). Your best bet is probably to
make a list of things you want gvim on windows to do and then aks on
vim_users about how to make gvim do that. It probably can do some of
the things with some options. You could write patches for the rest.

hi,
i just installed an x11/motif version of vim-7.3.905 from source
on macosx-10.6.8 and, every time it starts, i get an error dialog
that says:
E250: Fonts for the following charsets are missing in fontset -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1:

my font is:
set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
if i change it to:
set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
then the appearances of ISO8859-1 disappear and ISO10646-1 appears instead.
if i change it to:
set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-*
then all of the ISO8859-* ones and KOI8-R disappear but i'm still left with:

if i run gvim -u NONE -U NONE, the error still appears but at least it isn't a dialog box.
it appears on stdout and refers to 'fontset 7x13'.
in either case, i have to 'Press ENTER or type command to continue'
before i can see the contents of the file to be edited.
this doesn't happen on another, similar host with vim-7.3.661 but if i
apply the remaining patches, the error message appears there as well
(but on stdout rather than as a dialog box).
does anyone know how i can suppress this particular error dialog?
i really don't care about those charsets.
i just want to vim to start immediately.
i've reverted to vim-7.3.661 and that has fixed it but i'd like to have
vim filly patched.
it works fine up to patch 7.3.696.
the motif version doesn't compile between patches 7.3.697 and 7.3.705.
the error message appears as of patch 7.3.706 which got the motif version
to compile again.
cheers,
raf
