[arch-general] systemd, locales and gvim
I have succesfully migrated to systemd on my desktop-pc and laptop. I'm using German locale, and it's working quite well everywhere in X and in those virtual terminals (Alt+F*), but there is an issue with my laptop that really bugs me. I can't see underscores "_" in gvim. vim isn't affected. My .vimrc is identical on both boxes and doesn't contain any font or locale related settings. Following files are identical on both boxes, too: /etc/locale.conf: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /etc/vconsole.conf: KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys" uncommented lines in /etc/locale.gen and generated with /usr/sbin/locale-gen: de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 Maybe someone can help me with this issue. Cheers, Matthias

I'd say that it is not related to systemd or locales. Gvim is a graphical (Gtk) application, so it should not be affected by these settings, at least not in this way. I'd guess it is a problem with the GUI font: the underscores fall below the character cell and are clipped away. Could you try changing the GUI font? You can do it with ":set guifont=*" to choose interactively. Regards. -- Rodrigo

Thank you, that's it! I set the gui font interactively like you said and i could see them again. Then I noticed that the underscores are like 1px below the other characters, so they may be really clipped away. I had different dpi settings in my xfce setup and changed it to the same as my desktop setting. Now I can use my default font in gvim again. Thanks again for this surprisingly easy and fast solution! :D Matthias
