The question for me is do I want it or need it enough to recompile Vim for it? I understand now your questions. 1. If all you use vim for is programming and scripting in English and languages based on Latin alphabet, then no, you don't really need multibyte. 2. If you write in Chinese or Japanese or Corean, then yes, you need multibyte. 3. If write/read texts containing Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/non-Latin scripts together, then yes, you want multibyte. If your situation is not as black and white and 3 choices above, then your level of need to have multibyte would be something in between. Yakov

in :version, see whether you have +multi_byte or -multi_bytes.
If :version shows -multi_bytes, , the only thing you can do is
to rebuild vim. You can use script
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1473
to build install vim from sources; with default build ('huge'),
multi_byte will be installed.
