I use vim-gtk2-7.0.94.
And well, what you see looks like what I meant about GVim vs. other GTK2
apps.: GVim appears to put the stress mark correctly with the fonts that
other GTK2 applications have problem with (e.g. Bitstream Vera Sans),
but it places it incorrectly with the fonts that other GTK2 application
are OK with (e.g. Arial from webfonts). And because the incorrect
placement is distorted to the left, I suspect that GVim might use some
internal compensation mechanism.
