Re: Help with print encoding

Hi,

Have you tried setting printencoding to macroman?

The reason you see the upside-down question marks is because VIM
converts the buffer content from utf-8 to latin1, but the latin1
character set does not include the left and right single quotes and VIM
will change them to upside-down quotes so they stand out. On Macs there
is special code to convert utf-8 to Mac encoding where the left and
right quotes exist, so that should work for you. Unfortunately I don't
have access to a Mac to confirm this.

Cheers.
