I support any change that improves compatibility with Vim, or is
inspired by a design decision in Vim.
About Fonts -- I noticed that when I loaded Konsole, and viewed a UTF8
file with fonts from lots of languages (Tamil, Hindi, Russian, Chinese,
Korean, Thai and a few others I don't know the name of), Konsole
automatically found the characters in an installed font, and used that
to display the text.
Do you know how that works? Is that what you were suggesting above?
