vim cannot handle files with a BOM with the default installed vimrc: > if v:lang =~ "utf8$" || v:lang =~ "UTF-8$" > set fileencodings=utf-8,latin1 > endif As 'encoding' above will be utf-8, the default setting of 'fileencodings' should work fine.
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
this should be fixed in the nex rawhide release, try changing set fileencodings=utf-8,latin1 to set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1
