I see many question marks in my files and while reading the file vim
is warning about bad characters. When I switch encoding variable
everything looks ok (without question marks but with proper
characters).

Yes, it's this case for my files. I try to open files written in
latin2 encoding. I set the fileencodings option in my .vimrc

With the :e command.

I'll check your advice with the :verbose set fenc command when I'll be
at work at monday.

I found something strange. I've written the same file on my ubuntu
machine at home (with vim 7.3 of course). The file looks like this:

ąśćłóńć

and I wrote it using this command:
:w ++enc=latin2

and then I quit vim and opened this file again having in my .vimrc:
set fileencodings=utf-8,latin2

and it worked! I did the same thing in the same way in my fedora
installation at work and it didn't work.

Thank you anyway!
