[Qgis-user] Lao font not workng under QGIS 1.8 on windows

[Stefan Sylla]

Solution 1:
- Go to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Quantum GIS Lisboa\bin
- open file 'qgis.bat' in a text editor
- add below '@echo off':
'SET SHAPE_ENCODING=UTF-8' (without quotes)

If this does not help, move on to Solution 2:
within the folder of your shapefile, create an additional .cpg-file that
contains the ID of the encoding used. For example if encoding UTF-8,
.cpg-file contains the following record: “UTF-8” (without quotes). Make sure
the cpg-file has the same name as your shapefile , e.g. if your shp-file is
named "mymap.shp" the cpg-file should be named "mymap.cpg"). For further
