In my case I am using latarcyrheb-sun32 which is supplied by the       kbd-2.9.0 package (/usr/share/consolefonts). It looks great on a 4K monitor       on the bash shell as well as within vim. Back in the old days there was vga       fonts that could be used in a DOS terminal but that was only supporting 8-bit       character sets such as cp437. As for editors I thought the vim port of       windows had no issues with utf-8. Near as I can tell it is abandonware that       is holding Windows users back wrt utf-8.              > Maybe the Linux version doesnt have that char restriction.              I don't know since I cannot find the source. I did find the latest linux port       but it is out of sync with the current ncurses version deployed here. So far       I am finding that the "open" part of openxp to be highly questionable given       this obvious handicap.              Дуже груви,        Maurice              -o -o -o -o -o o- -o o- -o o- o- o-        (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ /) (\ /) (\ /) /) /)        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
