New issue 210 by [email protected]: 'listchars' causes slowness if it
has a codepoint that is missing in the current font
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=210
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a font such as "Courier" which is missing some glyphs.
:set guifont=Menlo:h14
2. Add a glyph to 'listchars' that is missing in 'guifont'. For example, on
Mac OS X, the "Courier" font is missing the "double arrow" glyph: \u21c9
:let &listchars = "extends:\u21c9"
3. If the Vim buffer needs to display many "extends" characters, it will be
slow, possibly because Vim (or OS X?) tries to find an alternative font
that contains the missing glyph \u21c9.
More details: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible/issues/57
Even if this is an OS X issue, would it be possible for Vim to prevent the
behavior, or possibly cache the result?
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MacVim 7.4.160, OS X
