I got some Mapinfo vector data with Greek characters in both the attribute column names and the attribute row strings. Initially, both in GRASS and QGIS the characters appear messy. I verified, inside QGIS, that the encoding in question is "cp1253" [0]. Passing this while importing the data in GRASS, like

v.in.ogr dsn=Roads.TAB out=roads encoding=cp1253 --o

does not work though (using ogrinfo --version, GDAL 1.10.1, released 2013/08/26). Is there a proper encoding instruction to pass to v.in.ogr, other than "cp1253"? I want to avoid solving this externally.
