[Qgis-user] GDAL utf-8 workaround

[S. Koukoulas (lists)]

nice one!
I did something similar by saving Greek fields in a new table (in
Libreoffice Calc) and then used a common field to join them back to the
attribute table. This can also be used to change from other greek
encodings to utf-8 (through Libreoffice Calc) - a workaround until the
problem is fixed...
