[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.9 and font encoding issue: font encoding automatically changed?

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi list,
I observed a very strange behaviour of gvSIG regarding font encoding. I 
would say, this is a bug, but it is at least a problem for colleagues of 
us who are still using ArcView 3.2:
What I did was the following:
0) start a new view in gvSIG, default font encoding is cp1252 (set in 
preferences)
1) load an oracle spatial layer containing addresses, house numbers etc
2) export this layer to shp. Opened it in ArcView 3.2 and found no 
problems (all german umlauts are displayed correctly:ä,ö,ü,ß)
3) started edit mode of the new shapefile, added some columns, performed 
some string operations, saved the modifications
4) opened the modified shapefile in ArcView 3.2. Result: Umlauts 
(ü,ö,ä,ß) are not displayed correctly
5) opened the modified shapefile in gvSIG again, looked at the table 
properties in the project manager: font encoding of the table is UTF-8.

This is very strange, don't you think? ArcView 3.2 cannot handle UTF-8 
encoded data...
Any comments, suggestions are more than welcome!

Best,
Wolfgang
