Troubleshooting
True color and italic support
There are lot of discussion about true color and italic support in the terminal. Below the list of relevant posts.
- morhetz/gruvbox wiki -- Terminal specific
- neovim/neovim -- FAQ
- XVilka/TrueColour.md -- Colours in terminal
- How to enable true-color for neovim, tmux, and gnome-terminal
- neovim/neovim -- Italics aren't displaying properly #3461
- neovim/neovim -- Get funny chars on terminal #3462
All in all the solution for me involved to at least:
- Upgrade to Ubuntu Xenial 16.04, to get newest Gnome Terminal and Terminator/gtk3 on recent VTE.
- Upgrade to tmux 2.2 (only if using tmux).
- Do a total reset of the account configuration.
- Fiddle a bit with the terminfo (still not sure what was the exact recipe though).
- Use gruvbox as theme (not solarized, which does not work in terminal).
To test, first verify that the color theme works correctly in gvim.
