[Qgis-user] problems with dbf encoding in Chugiak

[William Kyngesburye]

I've also noticed problems with shapefile encodings, though it seemed random.  Maybe it's just a general problem of QGIS ignoring the cpg file.  To work around it, set the encoding in the layer properties after adding it to QGIS.

To the best of my understanding the original encoding is 1252 and this works in LibreOffice or other gis programs, however trying to read it in Qgis gives always the wrong result (spanish characters missed). I've try the fix dbf encoder plugin adding the cpg file but with no success.
