I've set fileencoding, not fileencodings to latin1 for now, we'll see how it goes. > > Setting my terminal really in utf-8 mode would solve all my problems, > > the problem is that all the software I use currently does not support > > that, so I keep my terminal in latin1 mode. > > Locale is an environment thing: Each process can have it's own.

There are basicly 3 things that need to change: - Put your terminal in utf-8 mode (echo -n -e '\033%G') - Put your keyboard in utf-8 mode (kbd_mode -u) - Change your locale settings (atleast LC_CTYPE) to an utf-8 variant. It shouldn't be that hard to create a script to do that, but I'd rather have them all the same. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
