showcfont . Showfont seems to be related to x here. > before and after the > unicode_start/stop for insight. Check whether it also affects new > output. The output of showcfont gives me blanks for chars 0x100 to 0x1FF (the "high" 256 chars). It does not seem to be affected by unicode_start/unicode_stop (the "low" chars). Anyway, when I run vim (either with unicodestarted or stopped) I see in the background capital G with a hat (like ^), but such a char does not appear in the font I see in the output of showcfont. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= 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]
