fontconfig-2.3.2_6,1
freetype2-2.2.1_1
gtk-2.10.6_1
pango-1.14.5

I am using MC ports tree that have GNOME 2.16.1.

I saw your two screenshots of gvim:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=74149&action=view
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=74150&action=view

I don't get that when I ran 'LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 gvim', which it displays  
correct. Without set LANG, it shows mess up characters worst than your.

fonts)

BTW: vim6-gtk2-6.4.9
