I'm complaining about this issue for the last ten years. This is just
unbelievable: such a mighty text editor as gVim just does not allow
Windows international users to print their texts when gVim is set to use
UTF-8 as it's internal encoding... :(

Note, please: you are _forced_ to use the UTF-8 as gVim internal
encoding if you want to be able to perform encoding conversions...

I just don't remember any other text editor with such restriction (not
counting the crippleware ones)...

For many of us printing is as important as saving your edits.
Can you imagine a full-featured text editor in a year 2010 which does
not allow users to save or print the text files? :(
