Good. I will close this report as a configuration error.

Feel free to reopen if you are not happy with that.

No, nor me. Since neither vim not gtk2/3 is forked in Devuan, if you really
think that is a bug you would be better raising it on Debian's BTS.

Subject: vim-gtk3: Unreadable font since update to gtk3

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: vim-gtk3
Version: 2:8.2.0510-1

I used vim-gtk for ages without problems. Most of the time I use it on
the console which is also working with the new version but some times I
need to use gvim (Mainly when I have to edit files with foreign UTF-8
chars in it as my console is not capable to display other than latin1).

Since the update that dropped the gtk2 version, gvim is not usable
anymore. When I start it, it comes up with an unreadable font like it
the attached screenshot.

I know that I can choose the font in edit menu but it will be the same
unreadable font the next start.

I have no idea what font gvim with gtk3 is using and I have no idea how
to get back a readable font there.

Regards
   Klaus
