Hello all,
I have already disscussed this problem in vim-user mailing list, but
as nobody could solve the problem I decided to post here with the hope
that somebody can help me.
I use vim on slackware-13.0 with lesstif-0.95.0 (a free clone for
Motif) and KDE-4.2.4 as my graphical desktop environment.
To use farsi feature included in vim I used to compile vim-7.1 with:
{{{
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/Vim \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/Vim \
--enable-tclinterp \
--enable-gui=gtk \
--with-vim-name=vim \
--with-ex-name=ex \
--with-view-name=view \
--enable-pythoninterp \
--enable-rubyinterp \
--enable-cscope \
--enable-multibyte \
--enable-fontset \
--with-features=huge \
make
make install
make tags
}}}
To start vim in farsi mode and right-to-left, I used to invoke the
following command: {{{
env LANG=POSIX LC_ALL=POSIX \
vim -geometry 80x48+50+10 -g -fn far-a01 -F "+set fk"
}}}
With the above configuration options and invokation of vim, everything
worked fine with no problem at all.
However `--enable-gui=gtk' is not supported in vim-7.3, so I used
`--enable-gui=auto' option which is the default, but with this option,
when I press a key, instead of the Farsi character, only a rectangular
box is displayed on the vim window. Even in English mode, an extra space
is displayed between adjacent characters if I use the above font.
So, after some trial and error, I compiled vim-7.3 with
`--enable-gui=motif --with-x' instead of `--enable-gui=gtk', and with
these options up to now I have two problems:
1- Although I can copy from an xterm window to vim window (by
selecting with left mouse button and then doing a paste using a click
of the middle mouse button), I cannot copy from vim window to an xterm
window.
2- In toolbar the icons are cut off (only upper half part of icons are
displayed).
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks - Hussain
BTW: The `vim --version' output is: {{{
