I don't know. Maybe setting the bitmapped font changes the terminal to a
different encoding, and Vim, if already running, would of course be
unaware of the change (it's only at startup that Vim "asks" the OS what
encoding it should use).
About the "triangles": IIRC, the glyph used in bitmapped fonts (such as
the PC ROM-BIOS cp437 font used in the text console before any other
font has been loaded) for the byte 0x7F is a kind of triangle, usually
with its two bottom corners slightly lopped off. However, in ASCII or in
most character sets based on ASCII, that byte is a "control character"
which is either represented as an "invalid character" (which could be
the Unicode "reverse-video question mark in a diamond" glyph, or the
"hollow triangle" glyph, or something meaning "unknown character" such
as ? or ¿) -- or even not displayed at all.
I should have gone to sleep yesterday evening (it's 11:37 my time now)
so you should expect a delay of several hours before I reply to the next
message iun this thread.
Best regards,
Tony.
