Can't type Czech character u with ring above + entering unicode is broken

Hello,

Could someone please post an answer to my struggle
with entering Czech with the new gvim 7.4 on Windows 7
on Stack Exchange's Super User group/forum:

http://superuser.com/questions/668720/czech-language-input-method-and-font-support-in-gvim-7-4-on-windows-7

The contents of that post follow:

I would like to reopen a question related to the following:

(Czech) character set support in gvim 7.3 on Windows 7

Basically, in that post I noticed that some Czech characters were being displayed as black squares. So I posted the question and noticed that the problem seemed to go away by changing the font. I thought that solved the problem because the characters in the file I was using displayed correctly.

However, I have noticed the following: while some Czech characters display correctly by changing the font from the Gvim menu, others do not display correctly:

For instance when I paste the character Ů (Latin capital letter u with ring above) or ů (Latin small letter u with ring above), no font displays the resulting character correctly. For instance, the Fixedsys font displays a black square and a small u, respectively, while Lucida Console displays a capital U and a small U, respectively. I have tried all fonts available from the gvim drop-down menu, and none seem to work for this particular case.

The problem does not end here. The input method for unicode characters produces the wrong characters:

CTRL-V u0160 should produce the Czech character (Š) but the backquote (') is inserted instead. CTRL-V u016e should produce the Czech character (Ů) but the n character (n) is inserted instead. And the list goes on.

As if that were not enough, there is a list of alternative input method key combinations at the following site (which is a list of digraphs): http://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/runtime/doc/digraph.txt

but despite having the latest verion of gvim, when I type ":digraphs", this list does not show up. Only the old list from gvim 7.3 shows up, which does not include these.

For instance CTRL-K U0 and CTRL-K u0 both produce the character zero instead of the following:

Ů U0 016E 0366 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE

ů u0 016F 0367 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE

To summarize, despite gvim 7.4 being recently released, none of the distributed fonts are compatible with the Czech language, inserting unicode via CTRL-V seems to produce the wrong characters, and digraph support is incomplete.

Thank you for your answers.
