I find the ~/.gconf/apps/gedit-2 directory where the %gconf file is. But How should i change it so that it use utf-8 as default.

A: 

Mac version of GTK, which is used to implement gedit, has many issues concerning receiving non-ASCII characters from the keyboard. I don't recommend you to use it if you want to edit general UTF-8 documents with lots of accents and/or Asian characters.

oK. Many thanks Yuli. Maybe i will try Jedit or Texmate.

Textmate's unicode support is not great either. You can't easily input accented characters. There are plugins which allow inputting those characters, but you need to dig into the internets.
