It works now!!! Here is what I did:
1. At first, when the stange behaviour appeared that some characters
where displayed and others not, vim was compiled without any additional
configuration options. (no --enable-multibyte or so...). Gvim showed two
latin-1 characters for 1 non-ascii utf8 character, then.
2. I recompiled with --enable-multibyte
and in my .vimrc I set encoding=utf8 according to your posting.
Things looked even stranger - now for every expected non-ascii character
4 characters were displayed! I guess that vim treated every two-byte
character as two latin-1 characters and converted each of them to utf-8...
when vim started up, it said "invalid option encoding=utf-8".
3. I deleted encoding=utf-8 from my .vimrc and decided to try not to leave
"termencoding" empty but to set it to "utf-8". And now, it works perfectly!
In summary what I did:
- compiled with --enable-multibyte
- added "set termencoding=utf-8" to .vimrc
Thanks for this great utf8-editor! (I will probably not need yudit any
longer...) And thanks to all who helped to bring unicode support to Linux!!
