Hi everybody,
To use `Farsi' in vim 7.1, I used `--enable-gui=gtk' in
configuration.
The full installation commands are listed below. However, the above
option
is not supported in vim-7.3 and I have used --enable-gui=auto (default).
And with this option I have problem using `Farsi' in vim. To be
specific I
use the following command (which works fine in vim-7.1):
env LANG=POSIX LC_ALL=POSIX \
vim -geometry 80x48+50+10 -g -fn far-a01 -F "+set fk"
to start vim in Farsi mode. But when I press a key, instead of the Farsi
character, only a rectangular box is displayed on the vim window.
Even in English mode, an extra space is displayed between adjacent
characters if I use the above font.
FIrst, I'm not a Farsi speaker or user; I too (mostly) get rectangles.
However, that is the "default" character when a given font doesn't
support the Unicode glyph, and I probably don't have the glyphs for
Farsi loaded. I suggest poking about the Edit:Select Font requestor and
seeing if any of the fonts on your system support Farsi.
Probably the best thing would be if another Farsi writer who's gotten
things working would let you know what font s/he is using.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
