Some of the text (Chinese, pinyin, and English) in the .txt files are copied from to make html (.html) files and javascript (.js) files. I use vim to create and edit those, too; the results (private web pages) are viewed in Firefox. First of all, a file with a .txt is meaningless in a general sense.

What is considered a "real text editor"? > The issue, as I see it, you want to use "AR PL UKai CN Book 16" when you edit text that will eventually become part of a web page. (I assume your html code is also telling the browser to use that font?). Unfortunately, that font has issues in a terminal. So, what to do? The choices I see are.... 1. Pick a font that works in the terminal which you can tolerate. 2. Use "text-editor" as you've done in an earlier post in this thread. Even libreoffice writer can save in pure "text" format. 3. Use a html editor or creator or whatever they are called. libreoffice claims to have that ability. to directly create your web page. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
