1. Make sure that your locale ($LC_ALL, or if unset $LC_CTYPE, or if
unset $LANG) has its third part (after the dot) set to UTF-8. (For
instance: en_US.UTF-8)
2. Make sure that your xterm uses a Unicode display font with devanagari
glyphs.
How to check item 2 above:
1. In your mailer, "Select all" the text of your email, to which I'm
replying here.
2. "Copy" it to the clipboard.
3. In gvim, with 'encoding' set to utf-8, open a new file (e.g.,
~/devanagari.txt)
4. Paste the clipboard by means of
"+p
5. Save the file.
6. In your xterm, at the shell prompt, type
cat ~/devanagari.txt
This works for me (I see the devanagari glyphs). In the same terminal
(konsole, actually, in my case), Console Vim correctly displays all
glyphs too. (The font I'm using in this konsole terminal is "Andale
Mono", Regular (i.e., not italic), size 9.)
Best regards,
Tony.
