The naming is confusing I must admit. Ken had the name in the first place. So it is not my fault (although the name I came up with was the most confusing of all) ;-). You can of course choose the name you think aproprite. The BSD port uses 'vim-scdoc', which I think is OK but not technically correct: if a FanTi font is used the text would show up as FanTi. > > 2.

We probably need to discuss this in the group. Actually, if anybody has some strong feeling about this, let him speak. Rgds, lang2 |
