Thanks for this thorough description of the settings. I will only add
that `:help encoding` in MacVim has this note:
NOTE: For MacVim and GTK+, it is highly recommended to set 'encoding'
to "utf-8". Although care has been taken to allow different values of
'encoding', "utf-8" is the natural choice for the environment and
avoids unnecessary conversion overhead.
Best,
Life.
