The point of :hi Ignore was simply to let you see whether your
colorscheme hides text in the Ignore group. If it did, you wouldn't be
able to see the "xxx" output by the :hi Ignore command. Judging from
your initial screenshots, I'd guess that your colorscheme doesn't hide
Ignore'd text, but actually displays it as white or off-white on a
fairly dark background. One way to fix this would be to use a
colorscheme that hides Ignore text. About half of the distributed ones
do. If you like the colorscheme you're using, though, there are
several other possible solutions... You can figure out what the
background color is (sounds as though black is close, but not quite
right), then define the Ignore group ctermfg to match it. Another
possibility is to figure out what the Normal background color is and
set it explicitly before Txtfmt loads, like so...
:hi Normal ctermbg=black
When the Normal group's ctermbg has been set explicitly, Txtfmt
doesn't rely upon the Ignore group to hide tokens. Note, however, that
this works only if the Normal group's background color has been set
prior to the load of Txtfmt. (If you've already loaded Txtfmt, you can
simply use :Refresh to make Txtfmt take the new setting into account.)

I have noticed that some terminals (e.g gnome-terminal) don't display
italic properly. I'll investigate, but I don't believe there's
anything Txtfmt can do beyond ensuring that the Vim syntax region has
the italic attribute. Is the gnome-terminal the only one that displays
the remnants of the oriental looking characters?
