Re: Strange characters at start up

Hm.

Hola Tony,

I thank you for your reply 

What are the first few lines of the output of ":version" (up to and
including the line ending in "Features included (+) or not (-):" ?

VIM - VI IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18)

Parches incluidos: 1-2383

Compilado por 'http://www.opensuse.org/"

Versión "enorme" con GTK3 GUI. Aspectos incluidos (+) o no (-):

 

What is the output of ":language"?

Idioma actual : "LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=es_ES.UTF-8;L
C_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_NAME=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_ADDR
ESS=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_ES.UTF
-8"
 

Do you set it (or part of it) in
your vimrc?

No.

Do you set 'encoding' in your vimrc (and to what)?

No 

If you
do any of these, in what sequence do the "language", "set enc" and
"set gfn" lines appear in your vimrc?
Which font does your vimrc set?

set guifont=Bera\ Sans\ Mono\ 10      

If you set the same font again
manually at startup, (by ":set gfn=some\ font\ name", and see ":help
option-backslash" about what must be backslash-escaped in the value),
does it work? And after that, is that font shown in the output of
":set gfn?"?

Following your instructions up to this paragraph I openned some *.tex file and

went to the routine: Edit --> Select font.  I chose any; the strange characters disappeared

(I could read, normally, the contents of the file);

and when I put:

:set gfn=Bera\ Sans\ Mono\ 10

The weird squares and characters appeared!

So, in my .vimrc I changed the font and now the problem seems to be solved.

Just curious. I guess I need to install Bera-font. How do I do that?

Thank you so much for your support

Cheers!

(In all cases, type the above colon commands without their surrounding
quotes and followed by <Enter>.)


Best regards,
Tony.
