I know that using an utf8 locale would fix this problem. But I don't want to have to play with the state of the terminal + enviroment all the time, so I'm currently stuck with an latin1 terminal. It's not because I'm still using an latin1 terminal that I should go and configure vim to tell that I really have a latin1 terminal.
