Japanese font problem in vim.

nithima · 04-19-2010, 08:13 PM

Hi,

I am using vim for opening and editing my source code,
but the problem concerned japanese fonts is occurred.

Japanese text can not be shown correctly (not japanese) by using vim.

Please tell me, how can I do to solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

Sorry - I don't understand.

You have some source that has both Japanese characters and ASCII in it, and
the Japanese characters don't display right or not at all?

Cheers,
Tink

Don't worry - I've seen worse ;}

Can you please attach a code snippet that shows the behaviour to your post?

So does the Japanese not show at all, or as odd characters?
Maybe attach a screen-shot, also?

Thank you, Tink

this 's a part of code.
#define STRDATA_16 "Storage" // ･ﾇ｡ｼ･ｿｳﾊﾇｼｾ・

I tried to change System>Language at Linux/Fedora to Japanese and reboot.
But no anything changed.

By using general text editor ,i.e. gedit , no problem concerned Japanese character.
I think that it's necessary to set configuration for vim.
Is this the answer of my question?

I am not sure if this helps but I saw that you can set the locale like so within vim:

Code:

:language ja_JP.UTF-8

You may need to check which locales you have installed as the info after the dot "." can be different.
