Hi, Indeed, it is GVim under Gnome. It's my computer at work, running Ubuntu 8.10. However, I just tried to reproduce this problem at home (Ubuntu 9.04) and got the same (wrong) results. Answering the question about other applications, if I set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ 11 in GVim, I get incorrectly displayed combining characters and if I set my xterm to use: XTerm*vt100.font: -dejavu-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-*-*-17-120-100-100-*-0-iso10646-* the combining characters cause no problem. Under Gedit - no problem with this font in this variant. However, I have some problems (the combining characters are displayed like ordinary characters - take up "their own slot") with the oblique (DejaVu Sans Mono Oblique 11) variant of the font, which I do not get in GVim. -- Cheers, Lech --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
