Re: [GRASS-user] Importing ESRI Shapefile might cause attribute data corruption
Maris, This sounds a like a truly horrible problem. Thanks for raising awareness of this. Are there any other sources on the web where it would be possible to get more information about this? Have you tried downgrading only the Shapefile drivers in the GDAL 1.9.x release?

Hi, 2013/2/15 Maris Nartiss maris@gmail.com: JFYI GRASS is also hit hard by recent GDAL/OGR ESRI Shapefile encoding saga. Importing ESRI Shapefile with non-latin text most likely will corrupt Your text. take a look on new parameter 'encoding' in `v.in.ogr` [1]. This could help. ... v.in.ogr dsn=/home/user/shape_data/test_shape.shp output=grass_map encoding=cp1250 ...
