Hi all, I decided to use VIM 7.0 as a text editor under Windows, mainly because it allows me to use only my keyboard to edit files.
My problem is that I always work with UTF-8 or Unicode (codepage 1200) files and I have problems reading characters in other languages. I tried searching around and found the :set guifontwide command, but it seems I can't use any of the fonts from a base Windows install, or I haven't quite figured out how. If you can suggest the most complete Unicode font (the used languages, I don't care about math symbols, but definitely care about *all* used languages today). I seriously switch through all languages in a week's worth and definitely three character sets a day, I'd hate having to change fonts based on what I need to edit right then. Or, if I can use Windows fonts, please let me know how. For information, I have all languages support installed on my Windows XP system, and I can see the needed characters if I open the files in other editors (i.e. Notepad). I tested VIM with the UTF8 HTML page saved as text (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html), and the default font "Fixedsys" doesn't display many of the characters correctly. I changed font around a bit and what I discovered is that the very few of the fonts I can choose have only a couple of languages supported (i.e. Western, Greek, Turkish, Central European and Cyrillic for Lucida Console). When I choose Lucida Console, the languages supported display fine, but not the others (i.e. Japanese, etc.) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Alex
