Worked for me, *only after* I set LANG to "en" (I figure setting either LANG or LC_CTYPE to C may also work) Currently on my system: LANG=he LC_CTYPE="he" LC_NUMERIC="he" LC_TIME="he" LC_COLLATE="he" LC_MONETARY="he" LC_MESSAGES="he" LC_PAPER="he" LC_NAME="he" LC_ADDRESS="he" LC_TELEPHONE="he" LC_MEASUREMENT="he" LC_IDENTIFICATION="he" LC_ALL= (that is: LANG is set to "he" and everything else is set from it), there is also a valid /usr/share/locales/he which is actually he_IL.ISO-8859-8 Maybe this is it? > > Nor: > > /usr/X11R6/bin/gvim --cmd \ > 'set guifont=-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1' > > Nor putting the "set guifont=" line in my .vimrc set the font on startup. > > I can set it up manually by typing "set guifont" after the window appears, > but it would be annoying to do it, every time vim starts. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
