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

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, Wolfgang.
That sounds like the kind of issue you should be able to solve with that new extension called extShalom. If I'm not wrong, it's goal is dealing with font encoding, though I've never used it.

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
