My vimrc for Windows

I need gvim in Windows to support accented characters for my Latin homework. Adding

:set encoding=utf-8

to _vimrc helps with input. Now I can press

ctrl-k a -

to get lower-case 'a' with a macron. The next trick is to add

:set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono:h10:cANSI

so another font is used. This actually displays the lower-case 'a' with a macron instead of a black rectangle. To see what fonts are available and to help in constructing the guifont arguments, type into vim

:set guifont=*

A font selection dialog will pop up. Choose a combination that works for you, then type

:set guifont

to see what needs to be put into _vimrc. By the way, I put _vimrc in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator, which I figured out by typing

:echo $HOME

into vim.
