If a glyph isn't found in the first font, check the second. If not there, check the third, and so on. If the list of fonts is allowed to be infinite, this scheme should allow every unicode character to be displayed as long as you can find a monospaced font that contains a matching glyph. And you'd still get to use your favorite font most of the time. -- Jay -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
