I've attached a screenshot (also at http://imagebin.org/161344)
showing that both editors actually corrupt the script in the same way
visually, as you have observed.
gedit displays fine.
The difference with nano is that unlike vim, I can reliably position
my cursor within the text and the movement, user input is rendered in
an unsurprising way.
Of course, the script is still rendered wrong in nano, I'm just
talking about the mis-match between my user input and the rendered
result.
The simplest consistency test is just seeing where each editor thinks
the "end of line" is. The screenshot shows nano's cursor at the end of
the rendered line. Vim's idea of where the end of line is, falls short
of the rendered text.
It's almost as if vim's behaviour indicates its "internal"
understanding of the character grid (if that's what you call it) is
correct (the cursor seems to move over the correct number of chars),
but some of those chars are taking up more than one cell each when
rendered.
~$ fc-list :lang=hi | sort
FreeSans:style=Medium,obyčejné,Mittel,µεσαία,Normal,Medio,Gemiddeld,odmiana
zwykła,Обычный,navadno,Vừa
gargi:style=Medium
Lohit Hindi:style=Regular
Have you tried this with gvim? Its still rendered improperly (but
consistently!); however, using "$" sends the cursor to the semicolon at
the end of the line. I do see that the cursor does not go to the end of
line with vim running under either gnome-terminal or xterm.
