I've just found and solved the psql.exe problem as well by looking at the
psql documentation in the "Notes for Windows Users" section
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/app-psql.html#AEN53409). You
also need to change the console font to "Lucida Console" since the standard
raster font apparently doesn't work with ANSI codepages... :)

Now I'm reasonably happy that the encoding is working as it should do under
Win32 - has anyone else managed to test the patched version of shp2pgsql?


Kind regards,

Mark.
