[Gvsig_english] never ending story: gvSIG and german umlauts

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi list,
again a comment on gvSIG and german umlauts: when creating a new shapefile in 
gvSIG, still, the field calculator cannot be used to add german umlauts. I do 
not really understand this. Maybe someone of you has an answer for this.
I installed the extension extShalom and defined the font encoding for another 
table that was stored as iso 8859-1in calc (used CP1252 within the extShalom 
dialogue), but still, the field calculator just created little squares 
instead of the desired umlauts. BTW, I had some problems during editing-mode 
(the shapefile could not be closed) which did not come up before the 
installation of this extension. 

Best,
Wolfgang
