Greetings,

I've just installed gvim 7.2-1 on the current version of Cygwin.

Why I type "gvim", it complains

% gvim
  (gvim:4216): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

  (gvim:4216): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape:

Aborted (core dumped)

You need more fonts, probably. It's pretty fail of gvim to die in such a horrible and cryptic fashion rather than saying that, though.


I think you need at least font-adobe-dpi75 for gvim. (It is indeed a packaging error that the needed fonts aren't installed)
