There is also the question how you get text edited with vim into some format
you can submit. vim isn't particularly good at editing text with no hard
line breaks (tw=0), i.e. soft wrap. In order to get some text formatting
into e.g. Word, most likely requires the use of some command line
Any thoughts on whether scripts like this should be kept?
Besides being potentially dangerous to Windows users, distribution
of .exe files as scripts runs counter to the idea that scripts'
execution depends on Vim alone, and not on a particular operating
system.

Modern fonts provide for `language specific typography' by mapping,
depending on the language or other preference, distinct sets of glyphs
