Not in Emacs either. In Emacs (and likely due to an incomplete font), the last line gives a box for the 4th character. A blocker-criterion in my point of view. Having to find and set a proper font before being able to display the proper glyphs used in [RPM] filenames, reduces usability too much. It feels a lot like those bad books, where the translator also translated the names of system commands, reserved identifiers, or header names, for example. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
