The only trouble I have       is with proper word wrapping Arabic and Hebrew. Also with all the 24-bit       character languages (Chinese et al) there are zero compatible terminal fonts,       but have only seen one posting in Chinese in the last decade by someone that       hacked a Apple app on his smartphone.              If needed I'd swich to a gui where there are more choices font-wise but       definetly stick with vim ... with all the gui goodness turned on of course.        As things stand today we're far beyond what is truly supported by the CHRS       kludge, not counting the bogus ones such as LATIN-1. :::evil grin:::              Life is good,       Maurice               o- -o -o o- -o -o -o -o -o -o o- -o -o o- o- -o       /) (\ (\ /) (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ /) (\ (\ /) /) (\       ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
