but the "script R" is displayed incorrectly when the cursor is swept
over it from left to right.
I'm using:
Scientific Linux 6.5 (Carbon)
vim 7.4.372
set guifont=Monospace\ Bold\ 12
configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-perlinterp
--enable-pythoninterp --enable-cscope
Looks like a problem with the font: the character is wider than the
display cell. Thus when drawing the character to the right of the
"script R" it erases the rightmost pixels of it.
Reminds me of a problem I've had in the past with a totally different
font, and without doublewidth.
Once upon a time I used Lucida (Lucida Console on Windows, Lucida
Typewriter on Linux: I still used both platforms then); then I noticed
that in bold Cyrillic I had the problem described: sweeping the cursor
over the text made it look wrong when swept in one direction, right when
swept in the opposite direction.
On closer look, the bold Cyrillic glyphs of the Lucida font were
apparently constructed by superimposing the unbold glyphs with a copy of
themselves shifted laterally by one pixel, and thus the bold glyphs were
one pixel wider than the normal-weight glyphs (and than the declared
glyph-width of the font), which gvim "didn't like".
So I found a different font (Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) which doesn't
have this problem, and can AFAICT display Latin and Cyrillic with or
without bold or italic (or, of course, underlined) with no problem.
Dr. Chip, maybe you can find a different font, which has the glyph but
not the problem? It may require some trial and error.
Best regards,
Tony.
