please help - thank you.
The problem may be due either to a font lacking the appropriate glyphs,
or to an 'encoding' lacking the appropriate codepoints.
I. Font and glyphs question:
For gvim, see http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI
If you don't find anything prettier which has the glyphs, try
Courier_New — in my experience it has a good collection of glyphs.
For console Vim (which cannot be compared with Notepad or Notepad++
since these run in GUI mode), the font is set by the terminal. There
should be some menu allowing you to change the font.
II. Charset question:
Of course, you need an 'encoding' that supports the characters you want
to display — if 'encoding' is set to Latin1, there's no way you can
display those Slavic letters, they are just not included in the 256
(well, 191 displayable) characters of Latin1. See
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_Unicode for details.
Best regards,
Tony.
