Hey August!

> in my case the limitation is the font set, and DOS terminal

Right.  In my case I am using latarcyrheb-sun32 which is supplied by the 
kbd-2.9.0 package (/usr/share/consolefonts).  It looks great on a 4K monitor on 
the bash shell as well as within vim.  Back in the old days there was vga fonts 
that could be used in a DOS terminal but that was only supporting 8-bit 
character sets such as cp437.  As for editors I thought the vim port of windows 
had no issues with utf-8.  Near as I can tell it is abandonware that is holding 
Windows users back wrt utf-8.

> Maybe the Linux version doesnt have that char restriction.

I don't know since I cannot find the source.  I did find the latest linux port 
but it is out of sync with the current ncurses version deployed here.  So far I 
am finding that the "open" part of openxp to be highly questionable given this 
obvious handicap.
