Interesting. On my Windows XP(German) cp1251 works but koi8-r doesn't
work(works well under Linux). Strange thing, I guess this is related to
the Windows locale and/or to the Windows port of GLib.

Ok, maybe I did something wrong. But your Kate also doesn't auto detect
the encoding, does it?

Of course, please see

Hmm, maybe. But .c? Are you sure you want to write source code in an
non-Utf-8 encoding? By the way, Geany doesn't differ between Ascii and
Utf-8 encoding because Ascii is a subset of Utf-8 and so if a file has
an Ascii encoding it is always validate Utf-8.
