So, either I have to solve the mystery how to get rid of the UTF-8 encoding, or I have to find out how to teach external editor/gvim UTF-8.
Any hints/comments?
I suggest that you use UTF-8, or you'll encounter additional problems later (e.g. when you find that you need the Euro sign somewhere).
To edit UTF-8 text with gvim use the following settings:
set encoding=UTF-8 set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 " any font with iso10646-1 enocoding will do set termencoding=ISO-8859-1 " depends on your locale, if you set " this wrong, you'll be able to see but " not type

Thanks for the hints. But the problem is that this method doesn't work when you have this mixed ISO-8859-1/UTF-8 situation. If I do what you describe here, the server which mozilla doesn't identify as UTF-8 enoding (the development server in my scenario) won't work. And seeing the problems talked about in zope-dev about zope's UTF-8 compability, I'm not sure I want to walk this road now for all servers here. cheers, oliver
