Question

Answer 1

A:

Check:

set fileencoding
set encoding

Also check again the font. Not all font support everything.

Ya! I did set fileencoding=utf-8 and set encoding=utf-8 but still no difference.

Ujjwol 2010-09-23 08:52:18

Yes! Did checked the font. That font works fine in gedit or any other text editors.

Ujjwol 2010-09-23 08:58:16

I had to download some font to make it work for Chinese :S

Wernight 2010-09-23 09:05:52

Yes! that might work for other font's but Indic Script have complex rendering rules, so they are called Complex Scripts.

Answer 2

A:

Change the font in vim to the default font in gEdit (or whatever editor you were using in screenshot #2). Is the rendering incorrect with the same fonts?

skazhy 2010-09-23 08:44:50

Yes! the rending is incorrect with same font.

Answer 3

A:

Vim in gnome-terminal seems to be correct as it uses the same routines for rendering as gedit does (default Ubuntu 10.04).

I am using GNOME Terminal 2.28.1. It is not working. Is this the version you have ? Will this make any difference ? The rendering of complex characters is wrong in gnome-terminal itself.

Even that rendering is wrong. It somewhat-seems right only due to the use of simple characters. Anyway it is not correct.

Answer 4

A:

Pay attention to value of iminsert option. Especially try setting:

set iminsert=2

ib 2010-09-23 11:09:39

Hmm... No change same rendering problem.

Ujjwol 2010-09-23 11:18:03

It's hard to understand what settings exactly are responsible for that, but it works in my system: the rendering is the same in GVim and GEdit...

ib 2010-09-23 12:49:57

Can you post of the screenshot of correct rendering ?

Ujjwol 2010-09-23 15:24:17

@ib can you post full output of `set` called without arguments?

Here is how it looks after pasting into an empty buffer: http://imgur.com/xk9EM.png

ib 2010-09-24 08:39:02

And this is my `:set` output: http://pastebin.com/vG2GCHka

May be this issue is somehow related to X settings? For example, I'm using X Input Method system-wide. But, again, GVim and any Gtk application reders it correctly. And, by the way, Vim in XTerm also works as expected, I believe.

ib 2010-09-24 08:49:40

Still the rendered is improved than in mine but not correct.

Ujjwol 2010-09-24 09:50:00

At least, it renders exactly the same way as in any Gtk application on my system like Gedit.
