Printing with utf-8 characters on Windows

[Đức Minh Thái]

Hello,

I cannot get utf-8 characters printed correctly. For example:

 

bột

 

becomes

 

bá»™t 

My printing options are:

 

set printfont=LMMono10:h10 " This is the LMMono from LaTeX Latin Modern
set printoptions=number:y
set printencoding=ucs-2le bomb 

 

Please help. Thank you!

After reading about half of this thread, I have the following remarks:

- I haven't succeeded to print "full-Unicode" text with :hardcopy. When
I have a file with some exotic characters in it (Hebrew, maybe, or
Chinese, embedded in French text), I write it to disk as a *.txt file
(in UTF-8 with BOM), then print it in my browser.

- IIUC, valid 'printencoding' values are those for which there is a
PostScript conversion file in $VIMRUNTIME/print/ -- anything else is
treated as Latin1, including UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16le, UTF-32 and UTF-32le.

- Most gvim versions for Windows are built with +printer but
-postscript. In that case, according to its help, the 'printencoding'
option is not supported.

Best regards,
Tony.
