Could this be Mac-specific? I switched to encoding=latin9. When I do a Ctrl-K o e and a Ctrl-K O E this is what I get: ½ ¼ confirmed by the :dig command. I looked carefully at the output of :dig and I couldn't see our elusive "e dans l'o" either. So I switched to the French ISO-08859-15, then the US version of latin9.. still can't find that "o dans l'e". Strange thing is that the font I use on terminals does have these two characters (upper/lower case E dans l'O..) in the exact same spot Vim displays the above fractions..
