gvim can't find a valid font

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to get gvim 7.0.224 working.
Every time I 
try to start it I get the following error:

E665: Cannot start GUI, no valid font
found|16H|8H|4H|31H

and I get the console vim instead. I think I've messed up my
xorg fonts 
somehow after upgrading to 7.2. I followed all of the steps
in 
/usr/ports/UPGRADING, but I didn't have the xorg metaport
installed so I 
installed it after upgrading. The first time I started it
there was an 
error message that said I needed to run a program in the
fonts directory 
(I forget which one), but I'm pretty sure I didn't fix the
module path 
before running the command. I'm using the terminal in Xfce
4.4.1 to try 
and start gvim.

Here's part of my xorg.conf (now) in /etc/X11 that seems to
be related 
to fonts:

#

Section "Files"

# The location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name

# no need to change the default.

# The module search path.  The default path is shown here.

     ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules"

EndSection

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Neil
