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

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear all,
I did one more test:
1) set default encoding to cp-1252 in the preferences. closed and
reopened gvSIG
2) created a new layer, added a geometry, added a value for this
geometry.
3) finished editing, reopened the attribute tabel
4) within the project manager: select the table of the new layer, go to
preferences --> encoding of this layer (although font encoding was set
in preferences) is utf-8

and then
1) opened an existing shapefile of our administration. font encoding is
(seen in project manager, table preferences) cp-1252. ok.
2) start edit mode. left edit mode without changes --> font encoding is
1252
3) export the not-modified layer to shapefile: font encoding remains the
same.
4) once the attribute table is modified (e.g. by adding a new column),
the font encoding is altered to utf-8 - grrrrrrrrrrrr

I would be glad, if someone else could try to repeat this (btw, this
test was done with the build 1253, bin-installation file, ubuntu 9.10


Best regards,
Wolfgang
