Troubleshooting on Linux
************************
I can't see any fancy symbols, what's wrong?
--------------------------------------------
* Make sure that you've configured gvim or your terminal emulator to use
a patched font.
* You need to set your ``LANG`` and ``LC_*`` environment variables to
a UTF-8 locale (e.g. ``LANG=en_US.utf8``). Consult your Linux distro's
documentation for information about setting these variables correctly.
* Make sure that vim is compiled with the ``--with-features=big`` flag.
* If you're using rxvt-unicode, make sure that it's compiled with the
``--enable-unicode3`` flag.
The fancy symbols look a bit blurry or "off"!
---------------------------------------------
* Make sure that you have patched all variants of your font (i.e. both the
regular and the bold font files).
