Vim talk slides posted
http://www.gilesorr.com/vim/vimjourney/ I added a section on "Programmer Fonts" and using TTF fonts in XTerm since so many people preferred terminals over the GUI version of the editor. I realize that most people use more "advanced" terminal emulators, but for the old school among you ... -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
Hi Giles:
Thanks for the slides - sorry I coudln't make it out.
I added a section on "Programmer Fonts" and using TTF fonts in XTerm
Neat - but the Powerline project doesn't explain why they need to patch the fonts in the first place. Font design is much harder than it looks, and exceptional care and skill is required. cheers, Stewart

I think that what they're doing is adding some characters that are used to display special symbols (ie. for git upstream, or a pretty arrow) on the Vim status bar. Don't think they touch the existing font at all. I have no idea if that addresses your concerns or makes them worse: I know nothing about font design. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com

I'm not really sure. I've wondered about the number of emails I'm getting that have an A with the inverted V like accent mark over top of it. I see those odd characters all over a lot messages. I can only think it is due to some bad or misconfigured email program, or it could be someone sending an email in other than standard ASCII text format (but not in full HTML style). For several reasons I always keep Thunderbird configured to treat all email messages as containing standard text and not as (possible) HTML. -- Cheers!

I would have a deep look at the headers of the messages. I bet that there is some misunderstanding between the two ends. For example, your mail had this header: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Lots of mail is still encoded in other charsets. For example Windows-12* (* means some digits that I don't remember). Confusion can lead to lots of funny results. You could look at the raw message but that has a bit of a learning curve. I bet those A characters are really part of some magic character sequence, starting with a byte >= 128 or < 32.
Indeed; a hexdump (of a fragment saved using vi) shows them to be LF's (0A). Is this the entire story, do you think? Or is vi already giving me a sanitized version, and that's what I am saving? It's not clear to me what to use to extract the "real" contents of the message; and finding my way through a hexdump of my entire very large mailfile doesn't seem feasible. Do you have any thoughts on this? I wouldn't be so interested if it was just one message. But this has been happening a lot lately (and not in the past). I do have to wonder what in the world could be causing it... -malgosia On 2016-01-18 05:02 PM, D. Hugh Redelmeier wrote:
