I want Vim to display a file with mostly ASCII and some Unicode characters at least as well as Notepad does. That is, using my default font, show something a bit better than a "no such character" square box. I really don't care how it does it. Every other program I have tried (notepad, notepad++, Emacs, Sublime Text) does this. Removing the use of a flag which Microsoft explicitly notes as "Reserved for system use" does this. Probably, as Ingo says, by allowing fallback to a font that has the relevant characters. Paul. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
