Hi all,
I'm trying to figure how I can get digraphs (as well as unicode
characters if possible) displayed properly. When I type :digraphs, I
get the list of digraphs but I have question marks instead of funny
symbols. I have both vim 7.3 and vim 7.2 on my system. Vim 7.2 seems
to display everything fine (installed with apt) but vim 7.3 gives me
question marks and weird symbols. Would anyone know how the digraphs
work?
Thanks!
Console Vim or gvim?
If gvim, it probably means your font doesn't have the glyphs for those
characters: see http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI
If Console Vim, it could be _either_ the font (which is handled by the
terminal, Vim has no action on that), _or_ a misunderstanding between
Vim and the terminal about which charset (for which locale) to use for
reading and writing. If the former, try setting a different font if yout
terminal allows it. If the latter, and you change 'encoding' in your
vimrc, try saving the _old_ 'encoding' value in 'termencoding', e.g. as
follows:
if has('multi_byte') " if not, bypass the whole multibyte rigmarole
if &enc !~? '^u' " if not already Unicode
if &tenc == "" " avoid f*ing up kb & terminal communications
let &tenc = &enc
endif
set enc=utf-8
endif
set fencs=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1 " for example
" the following are optional
" they mean: create new files in Latin1 by default;
" create new Unicode files (if 'fileencoding' is manually set)
" with a BOM by default.
" warning: some fileypes (e.g. anything with #! in the first line)
" should not have a BOM (and, in most cases, be in US-ASCII so
" Latin1 should be OK for them).
setglobal fenc=latin1 bomb
else
echomsg 'Warning: this Vim version has no multibyte support'
" note: Vim versions with no expression evaluation (which usually
" also have no multibyte) will treat the whole if...else...endif
" block as a nestable comment (and give no message here).
endif
see http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_Unicode (and the help topics
mentioned there) for details about the above snippet.
Best regards,
Tony.
