Modern fonts provide for `language specific typography' by mapping,
depending on the language or other preference, distinct sets of glyphs
to the same Unicode code points. Such is the case e.g. with Cyrillic,
where one may expect certain letters to look differently in, say,
Bulgarian, Russian, and Serbian. (And an example of a font that
provides this capability is Iosevka, which is my current favourite of
a monospaced font.)
In CSS, for example, the use of language specific glyphs is enabled
by setting `font-language-override' accordingly, while in a word
processor a generic setting, such as simply `language' is typically
used to the same end.
So, my question is: is it possible to choose language specific glyphs
in Vim? I was unable to find such an option, but I may be missing
something.
Thanks,
Boyko
