Devanagari characters do not render properly in gvim

Update: I searched a bit and found that you can use any monospaced font in vim but if you choose a non-monospaced font, the results will be ugly because vim has a fixed character cell. So, you can't use Devanagari fonts in gvim.


It seems to me that gVim treats every font as monospaced and that is creating the problem.

You can try other editors which can render the font correctly. Some of them are:

  • Gedit

  • Emacs

  • LibreOffice Writer - A word processor
