[9fans] vim and utf-8

[9fans] vim and utf-8

[Troy Cauble]

When using vim, Greek characters are shown followed by a
garbage character, usually Esc., sometimes immediately after
the Greek char, sometimes later in the line.  Editing that line
after the Greek char, positioning is one-off.

encoding, termencoding, and fileencoding all show as utf-8

Any ideas?

Also, how do I change the font used by vim.  It is not using $font.

Thanks,

I has also a similar problem with my terminal configured to utf-8. I
solved it by puting
set encoding=utf-8
in my vimrc.

I guess someone ported vim to plan9? Next you will have to give Ubuntu
support when linuxemu gets fixed.

No i'm serious. (although i don't speak/write in english well)

I had configured my terminal to utf-8 which should be adequate. But in
Vim, every greek letter was followed by a garbage character.
I suppose Vim overrides terminals configurations. By executing ``set
encoding=utf-8" in Vim, the problem was gone.

I'm sure Troy tried this too. My intention was to address that perhaps
this configuration is overridden.
