opening it.
I'm using gvim 7.3 on Windows. I have the following situation
regarding locale and languages:
1) The OS language is English
2) The Windows LANG environment variable is set to DE (because I live
in Germany).
3) The gvim 'installation language' is German. With this I mean that
the menus are in German.
4) My vim locale is English (that is, my _vimrc contains 'lang
english')
These settings are fine for most purposes. However, I also have a
special file in which I'm collecting text lines in Japanese. The text
in the file is not maintained manually but is being written to by
another application.
A little trial and error shows that, when making the following
settings *after* the file has been opened for reading, the Japanese
text is correctly displayed:
set encoding=utf-8
set guifont:MS_Mincho:h10:cSHIFTJIS
However, this has the undesirable collateral effect that it does not
only affect the buffer with this particular Japanese text but all open
and future buffers.
I tried 'fileencoding', which didn't work. From the documentation I
kind of understand that 'fileencoding' only affects user input after
the variable was set, which in my case is useless. I don't care user
input, I just want the text to show in the correct encoding (utf-8).
The 'on opening' part can be achieved with an autocommand (I used to
use a modeline until 7.2, but setting encoding from a modeline seems
to be forbidden from 7.3).
Does anybody know how to handle this?
Thank you
