I'm trying to find out how to configure neovim in order to edit texts with accented latin characters. I usually set ambiwidth
to double
so Jananese symbols are displayed properly, but then neovim treats accented latin characters also as double-width. When, on the other hand, I set ambiwidth
to single
, the entire text gets completely disfigured, with parts of text not even displayed. Perhaps, I'm missing something?
Incidentally, I happened to notice everything is fine with vim 8.1 when ambiwidth
is set to single
.
I'm using the latest neovim (v0.3.1-dev) with xfce4-terminal (0.6.3) on an Ubuntu-based system (14.04).
(Solved)
I was not familiar with different sorts of terminals, but the problem resolved itself when I switched xfce4-terminal for rxvt-unicode. Now accented latin characters are displayed properly as single-width when I set ambiwidth
to single
.
