[Qgis-user] Shapefile with file .cpg(codepage)

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

QGIS is using OGR to read/write shapefiles. 

http://www.gdal.org/drv_shapefile.html does not mention the .cpg files,
so I assume, OGR does not support them. If you want to see this
addressed, I would contact the GDAL/OGR devs.
