gvim with syntax highlighting looks icky

[Floyd May]

I just pulled down the most recent port of vim (6.4), and use of
syntax highlighting in gvim looks bad.  Any bold text is rendered with
too much space between the characters, which basically creates a
near-unreadable display in many cases.  However, scrolling across the
affected text with the cursor corrects the problem.  It appears as
though the text extents have been calculated correctly, but the text
itself is not being rendered correctly.

To reproduce, open an HTML file in gvim (XML and python also show the
same behavior), and enable syntax highlighting.

Apologies if this is the wrong mailing list.
