Re: Non-Latin Characters Disply in the VIM for Win32
Most Windows programs, like Notepad, will use different fonts for different types of characters. Even if Notepad is set to use Courier New, it will use a different font to display e.g. Chinese characters. Windows Vim does not do this. It only uses the font that is specified in the options. Courier New does not include any Chinese characters, so if you need Chinese characters, you'll need to use a different font, e.g. MS Mincho. For some reason Windows does not use anti-aliasing for any of the fonts that includes CJK characters, so with these fonts, even Latin letters will be ugly ... I wish Windows Vim could automatically select the proper font for different types of characters, like most other Windows programs do ... The Gnome version of Vim can already do this. Will we ever get this feature in Windows Vim? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

Re: Opening files with Unicode names under Windows?

Those people who use localized versions of Windows are less likely to run into such problems (for example on a Hungarian Windows system the default encoding does include ő and ű). The rest of us learn quickly that it is best to avoid file names with characters that are not present in the system encoding. Even today there are many programs that don't understand Unicode, and these file names can cause all kinds of weird problems (like a picture viewer skipping them in a slide show, or even worse: a CD burner program silently omitting them from the CD ...) Also the names of those files that are most commonly edited with Vim (like source code) are unlikely to contain non-ascii characters. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

Well, I don't know anything about programming Windows for Unicode but you might test the following names (I'm adding quotes because some of them have spaces) Э-эй ухнем.txt Ĉu.ĉi-tie.ĉiuaŭtune.ŝiriĝas.folioj.htlm 爲無爲、則無不治。.txt أَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَمْ.txt Paste them, don't hand-copy them ;-). I don't think the content of the files matters. I expect the last two to be particularly difficult because of the high CJK codepoints and the RTL Arabic words with composing characters in them. I don't guarantee that all values are permitted as filenames but they are meaningful text (well, more or less; let's say they're linguistically OK) and I intentionally didn't use question marks and asterisks (which I think are Yes, all of these names are working. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

Fortran plugin and vimrc_example
The Fortran plugin's documentation gives instructions on how to enable automatic selection of source format (fixed or free form) based on the file extension (see :help fortran). It also mentions that this will only work if the filetype plugin indent on line precedes the syntax on one in vimrc. This is not true for the included vimrc_example. Unless there is a reason not to, it would be nice to swap the order of these two lines in the 'official' vimrc_example to make sure that it is compatible with the Fortran plugin. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

Re: .nb files are Mathematica notebooks

I don't know what Nota Bene is, but perhaps the file contents can be checked to be something that looks like Mathematica? According to http://filext.com/file-extension/nb, Nota Bene is a word processor and bibliographic manager. Mathematica notebooks always begin with a comment, i.e. (* (without the quotes). I am not sure whether there may be any whitespace before the (*, but none of the notebooks I checked (created by versions 3.0, 5.2 and 6.0) had any. So perhaps any *.nb file whose first two characters are (* could be linked to the mma file type? Szabolcs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

.nb files are Mathematica notebooks
Currently only *.m files are recognized as mma filetype (Mathematica). *.nb files can also be safely linked to the mma file type, as Mathematica notebooks just contain one big Mathematica expression. Of course one does not normally edit raw notebook files with a text editor, but syntax colouring is useful for reading them. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.
