I have vim 7.3 installed on my fedora and I encountered a problem with opening files with latin2 encoding. Vim uses utf-8 encoding by deafult and it's OK for me but sometimes I need to edit file in latin2. I tried set fileencodings to utf-8,latin2 but it didn't work. I tried even opening the file with ++enc=latin2 argument but it didn't work either. The only way I found that it worked was setting encoding to latin2 but I edit many files in different encodings all the time so switching the encoding variable isn't a good choice.
It sounds like you are doing everything right. You are right, setting the encoding option is definitely an unwise move. A few questions to clarify things and perhaps pinpoint the problem: What do you see that demonstrates to you that it isn't working? Having fileencodings=utf-8,latin2 will only fall back to latin2 for text that is not valid utf-8. Is this the case for your files? Did you set the option before reading the file (e.g. in vimrc)? Where did you specify the ++enc=latin2 argument? On the commandline or with the :e command within Vim? What do you see after opening the file for :verbose set fenc? ? Perhaps that will give you a clue how fenc is being set. Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
