Re: vim font issue

Apparently, combining characters are not always positioned where they belong.

This reminds me of a problem I had recently with SeaMonkey and which I
resolved by selecting a different font. It may or may not be due to
the same causes, since my SeaMonkey is built with GTK3, my gvim is
built with GTK2 (both with pango-cairo IIUC), and Windows gvim is
something else again. In addition I had the problem with a serif font
and didn't try to reproduce it with monospace or even sans-serif.
However, if the problem is in the font rather than in the rendering
engine there might be a common cause.

The whole gory discussion of my problem is at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228221 (and hitch your
belts, it does get technical in parts). A followup bug has been opened
at openSUSE but with no reply so far from developers.


Best regards,
Tony.
