[Qgis-user] Character display

[Sergio Zárate Pedroche]

Hi, I have been experimenting with QGIS for some time, but recently I  
am using it for productive tasks. Several issues have appeared, so I  
will start with one at a a time. One problem is that  Spanish  
characters in labels are truncated in the display. Even if I change  
"language" to "latin", accents (á, é, í, ó, ú) and "ñ" do not display  
properly (the character is omitted) and "language" setting returns to  
"any". I edit the shapes´ *.dbf files using NeoOffice. I have used  
capitals to avoid the problem in part but still the "ñ" will not  
appear in labels. ¿is there something I can do? ¿what ASCII filter  
code should I use for .dbf files?
Advanced thanks for an answer!
