I've just installed the standard Cygwin/X and gvim package, and cutting and pasting from Word works fine. My .vimrc sets "encoding=utf-8" set guifont? guifont= So the default font seems to be okay. Still I don't know if the fonts that GTK/X/gvim uses covers all unicode codepoints (i.e. all the possible characters in unicode). -- Frodak ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
