Comment(by aperi2007):

 hi strk,
 using Latin1 it work !

 But I guess there is something other problem .

 Because
 effectively using the "Latin1" the original shapefile is loaded.
 But I notice another strange phenomenon.

 I have try to convert the line.shp to UTF8 version (using qgis)
 call it "line_utf8.shp" (add it to this ticket).

 I notice that using
 encoding "UTF8"
 shp2pgsql load only the "line_utf8.shp" and dont load the "line.shp"
 reporting no error.
 I guess an error would be reported. The sql file generate from shp2pgsql
 is simply stop to the first line of COPY.

 The second question is:
 Is right that shp2pgsql skip the load of a shapefile if encoding is set to
 UTF8 and the shapefile use a different encoding.
 Instead if the encoding is set to Latin1 it seem to be always loaded.
 Latin1 seem to be a special encoding setting.
