Created attachment 56727 [details] difference in ligature handling of konsole (broken) and gvim (ok) using the same fixed font Version: 2.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux please see the attached screenshot - konsole and gvim are set to use the same font there, and both display the result of "ls -C" in the same directory. GVIM's behaviour is expected, konsole's is not. The font used is cm-unicode "CMU Typewriter Text", size 18. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: install cm-unicode (see screenshot for distribution URL) set konsole and gvim to use the font CMU Typewriter Text, size 18 (or any other fixed font with ligature markup inside) do ":r!ls -C" in a directory that has filenames that match the ligatures inside gvim and "ls -C" at the command prompt in konsole Actual Results: see konsole's window in screenshot Expected Results: see gvim's window in screenshot
According to the cm-unicode font maintainer, this is actually a font issue that was fixed with 0.7.0 -- see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=201102020913.23417.panov%40canopus.iacp.dvo.ru&forum_name=cm-unicode-devel
