macosx x11/motif gvim-7.3.706+ E250 dialog on startup

hi,

i just installed an x11/motif version of vim-7.3.905 from source
on macosx-10.6.8 and, every time it starts, i get an error dialog
that says:

E250: Fonts for the following charsets are missing in fontset -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1:

my font is:

set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1

if i change it to:

set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

then the appearances of ISO8859-1 disappear and ISO10646-1 appears instead.

if i change it to:

set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-*

then all of the ISO8859-* ones and KOI8-R disappear but i'm still left with:

E250: Fonts for the following charsets are missing in fontset -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1:

if i run gvim -u NONE -U NONE, the error still appears but at least it isn't a dialog box.
it appears on stdout and refers to "fontset 7x13".

in either case, i have to "Press ENTER or type command to continue"
before i can see the contents of the file to be edited.

this doesn't happen on another, similar host with vim-7.3.661 but if i
apply the remaining patches, the error message appears there as well
(but on stdout rather than as a dialog box).

does anyone know how i can suppress this particular error dialog?
i really don't care about those charsets.
i just want to vim to start immediately.

i've reverted to vim-7.3.661 and that has fixed it but i'd like to have
vim filly patched.

it works fine up to patch 7.3.696.
the motif version doesn't compile between patches 7.3.697 and 7.3.705.
the error message appears as of patch 7.3.706 which got the motif version
to compile again.

cheers,
raf
