Dear all, I did one more test: 1) set default encoding to cp-1252 in the preferences. closed and reopened gvSIG 2) created a new layer, added a geometry, added a value for this geometry. 3) finished editing, reopened the attribute tabel 4) within the project manager: select the table of the new layer, go to preferences --> encoding of this layer (although font encoding was set in preferences) is utf-8
and then 1) opened an existing shapefile of our administration. font encoding is (seen in project manager, table preferences) cp-1252. ok. 2) start edit mode. left edit mode without changes --> font encoding is 1252 3) export the not-modified layer to shapefile: font encoding remains the same. 4) once the attribute table is modified (e.g. by adding a new column), the font encoding is altered to utf-8 - grrrrrrrrrrrr I would be glad, if someone else could try to repeat this (btw, this test was done with the build 1253, bin-installation file, ubuntu 9.10 Best regards, Wolfgang Am Montag, den 18.01.2010, 20:37 +0100 schrieb Wolfgang Qual: > Dear Juan Lucas, > unfortunately, I do not think so.
