[Qgis-user] UTF-8 no more :(

[Koos Hagg]

Hi Everyone,
Has anybody else noticed that UTF-8 is broken?

most of my mapping work has been focused on Vietnam, which has a bunch of
accents and what not.
I have not had this problem up until today- usually importing and exporting
as utf-8 will handle all of my characters beautifully.

Today nope. A connection to a spatiallite database is fine, but for
example, if I save a spatialite layer as a shapefile (utf-8 specified) the
characters turn to mush.

My old layers which were fine (and saved as UTF-8) before now are not
displaying text properly.

Ideas anyone?
this is in QGIS 1.7.4-4 and 1.9.90. on Windows 7 64 bit (OSGeo4W)

thanks!

Koos
