Hi!
I'm not sure which application has this bug - vim or urxvt.
I'm using urxvt with custom font which doesn't have all unicode symbols,
but AFAIK urxvt somehow magically load symbols absent in current font from
some other fonts. I've no idea how urxvt decide which font should be
used, but looks like in my case most such symbols loaded from DevaVu.
I've just added to ~/.XCompose these lines:
<Multi_key> <v> <v> : "✓" U2713 # CHECK MARK
<Multi_key> <V> <V> : "✔" U2714 # HEAVY CHECK MARK
and while testing them I noticed strange thing: in vim CHECK MARK looks
too large, larger and bolder than HEAVY CHECK MARK. In bash CHECK MARK
always looks correctly (lighter than HEAVY CHECK MARK).
In `vim -u /dev/null --noplugin` CHECK MARK also always looks correctly,
like in bash. So, I've bisect vim settings and found problem is in …
set esckeys
WOW, that was a real surprise!!!
Actual command which break this is "set nocompatible" in /etc/vim/vimrc,
but if I add "set noesckeys" right after it - it fix issue with CHECK
MARK's rendering/font.
I don't like to disable esckeys just to fix one symbol rendering issue
(all other symbols works ok, or at least I never noticed rendering
differences), so if anyone have idea about another workaround or how to
further debug this issue (is it possible to enable debugging in urxvt to
find out which extra fonts it use?)…
I'm using Gentoo Linux, vim-7.4.94, rxvt-unicode-9.18.
