Re: Where's my Vim icon?

Thanks, Arnaud, and the others who responded directly.  I have Vim up 
and running now on Tiger. I'm an experienced Windows developer and a 
competent Linux user, but I had probably used Macs for a total of 8 
hours *ever* before today.

I see that fonts are not anti-aliased. Is that because it's a Carbon app 
instead of a Cocoa one?

No, that has nothing to do with Carbon/Cocoa. Mac Vim's font handling  
code is simply buggy. You have to choose if anti-aliasing or unicode  
text display works iuc (yes, that's an exclusive or :-P).

utf-8 and stability problems (was Re: Where's my Vim icon?)

Hello,

I currently observe severe problems even with no antialiasing; utf-8
support seems to be buggy.

I wonder, if there is some short term workaround? I currently edit a
long utf-8 document and would be happy to use mac Vim.app instead of the
shell vi or Aquamacs Emacs (although the latter is not bad in terms of
stability and OS integration, it seems ;) - and it has viper-mode )

I did try all the enc/(no)macatsui/(no)anti/gfn patterns it seems.

Too bad: my ~/.gvimrc seems to let Vim.app crash, when doublecllicking.
using the gvim starter script from the shell does work... strange.

Seems to have something to do with my locale settings and translated
menus, probably.

I will post a trace, if that seems to be useful... ? (be patient; I am
not at home at my mac currently)

ciao,
André

Re: Where's my Vim icon?

:set antialias

You will want to do some experimentation with your fonts, though.

Re: Where's my Vim icon?

Hi Richard,

the  FAQ section on http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php recommends the line

:set nomacatsui anti enc=utf-8 termencoding=macroman gfn=Monaco:h13

which works for me.

have fun,
