You're probably right, since my computer at work has the same vim
version and configuration and has better-looking fonts (it still uses
xfree). 
fontconfig and freetype are the latest (at least, the latest considered
stable in gentoo). What I really miss is documentation for users (as
opposed to documentation for developers/sysadmins). Googling for
fontconfig+(tutorial|howto) is fruitless...

Thank you,
