On the Google Groups interface, the OP's message looks fine, but yours is garbled, actually. https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/Yjv59u5y7Qw/discussion > > > > > > You may also have to choose a font that supports these characters. > > > In the font I am currently using type ctrl-k *a (ctrl-k followed by * > > followed by a) should show the greek letter alpha but instead it shows only > > a little square. > > > > > > > Yes indeed.

It's what I settled on long ago for my Vim font.

It doesn't have as many glyphs as Deja Vu, but it has a much wider range than the default Fixedsys font, and looks fairly nice in my opinion. Lucida Console and Lucida Typewriter look ok to me but I personally don't like them as they don't have very distinct glyphs for 0 and O. I have the same problem with Courier New, which additionally has similar glyphs for 1 and l. All these fonts I mention have a glyph for the Δ character, and I can paste it into Vim just fine. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
