Hi,
i am pretty much a newbie among the VIM-configurations though love to type
in this editor. I have tried to get through by using the help and such but
soon realized that it takes some hours to learn out all basics - which i am
not interested in, at least right now.
So, i know that there is this _vimrc file on my harddisc...
I created an utf-8 coded document in another editor and typed down some
cyrillic chars. Do i now open this very file in my dear VIM it will not
properly display. I have thought to set VI to also use utf-8 coding but
already failed this task.
Would somebody please just give me the commands i need to type in that
config file "_vimrc" or is this not so easy?
Btw, i am running on a windows system
THANKS a million!
To see cyrillic characters in Console Vim you need a terminal with Cyrillic
display, since Console Vim can only use whatever characters the underlying
terminal offers.
In gvim, you can display Cyrillic characters on two conditions:
- 'encoding' must be set to some value which supports Cyrillic text. This can
be an 8-bit encoding like koi8-r, cp1251 or ISO-8859-5, or a multibyte
encoding like UTF-8.
- Your 'guifont' must include Cyrillic glyphs. Lucida_Console has a problem in
that its Cyrillic bold glyphs are slightly wider than its unbold glyphs.
Courier_New is uglier but "saner".
So here is (a part of) a vimrc for gvim, to use Cyrillic characters:
if &enc !~? '^u'
if &tenc == ''
let &tenc = &enc
endif
set enc=utf-8
endif
set fencs=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,iso-8859-5
setglobal bomb fenc=utf-8
if has('gui_running')
if has('gui_gtk2')
set gfn=Courier\ New\ 10
elseif has('gui_photon')
set gfn=Courier\ New:s10
elseif has('gui_kde')
set gfn=Courier\ New/10/-1/5/50/0/0/0/1/0
elseif has('x11')
set gfn=*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*
else
set gfn=Courier_New:h10:cDEFAULT
endif
endif
