In /etc/locale.gen I have
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
For everyday purposes, I have no use for anything beyond ASCII,
ie English + French German Spanish accents,
but I do want to be able to handle Esperanto & Ancient Greek with Vim.

Could you clarify in light of my test ?
Eg do you mean I should alias Gvim in .bashrc ?

If this is a real issue, albeit small, not simply a quibble,
I'm willing to investigate further. It is a bit irritating
that when I look at my e-mails with Most, e-acute doesn't display correctly.
