I think fonts get updated a lot less frequently than the Unicode standard. In this case, the voltage symbol in my terminal emulator's font is single-width, but this problem could be mitigated by painting a correctly colored empty cell one space to the right before printing the character in the left cell. This would resolved the graphical glitchiness shown in my image. This is what happens now: - Draw double-width symbol in cell X What I'm proposing is: - Draw blank cell in X + 1 - Backtrack and draw allegedly double-width character in cell X Eric -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
