This is an interesting area but isn't utf-8 becoming the defacto standard and the ultimately better way to go? I know when I switched to utf-8 in elinks, some of the characters over 127 represent better in elinks and speakup handles them quite well with proper descriptions instead of those stupid %222 type symbols all over the place. I especially like this improvement while reading HTML type messages inside of mutt. On Tue, Aug 03, 2010 at 08:02:24PM -0500, Adam Myrow wrote: > These problems with vim seem to be related to UTF-8.
