[Gvsig_english] dbf-files and font encoding: workaround

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear list,

the current version of gvSIG (1.9) has a bug regarding font encoding (at 
least in the linux version): once an attribute table is edited, font 
encoding of that table is set to utf-8, regardless whether this setting 
was correct or not (e.g. I am using normally only windows latin-1). For 
tables that are not too big, this can be solved using openoffice calc:

1) open the attribute table in calc, select utf-8 as font-encoding
2) save the table with save as...
Here, it is important that the option "Filtereinstellungen bearbeiten" 
(I do not know the English translation, but please see attached 
screenshot) is activated
3) select the correct font encoding
4) save and exit.

This bug will be fixed in 1.10, but maybe it is still helpful for some 
of you out there...

Best,
Wolfgang
