Re: Can not open filenames with non-ascii characters on Windows

Hi!

I used vim 7.3 and from today 7.4 on Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit.

It seems it has problems opening files that have non-ascii characters in their names.

For example:
 - I create file named testčšž.txt (in case this gets corrupted, that is testcsz.txt with caron on the c, s and z)
 - in Windows Explorer I right click the file and choose "Edit with Vim"

Expected: the file is opened in GVIM

Actual:
 - a new file is created/opened in GVIM
The GVIM window title says testcšž.txt for filename (the č lost the caron),
also the bottom of the window says:
"C:\path\testcXX.txt" [New File]

X are black squares

So:
 - the 'č' gets converted to 'c'
 - 'šž' is displayed correctly in windows title, but in the status line

I put a screenshot here: http://imgur.com/NNtUuxl

If I save this file, a file named "testcšž.txt" is created.


It is also the same if I drag'n drop the file into a running GVIM window.

Is this a known issue or some misconfiguration?

I think you need to use unicode.

Try ":set encoding=utf-8" and ":edit testčšž.txt".

Maybe you also need to change font. ":set guifont=*".
