[Qgis-user] Correct data source encoding for labels

Hi,
do you have this issue only with labels or do you have the same issue in  
the attribute table (assuming that labels derive from atributes)?

I also have frequent issues with encoding. The only thing that worked for  
me (in some cases) was to check "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration"  
under Settings/Options/Data Sources/Data source handling.

If you try this, you should maybe restart QGIS and/or at least remove and  
re-add the layer in question.

Cheers
Bernd
