I can confirm that opening (in Calc) the provided DBF under GNU/Linux using
v4.3.0.3 Build ID: 08ebe52789a201dd7d38ef653ef7a48925e7f9f7 this is displayed
for these character sets
Cyrillic (DOS/OS2-866/Russian):
A1: НАЗВАНИЕ,C,80
A2: ╨єёёъшщ ЄхъёЄ
Cyrillic (PT154):
A1: ҚҖҮӮҖҚҲ…,C,80
A2: Русский текст
i.e., Using DOC/OS2-866/Russian A1 displays the field-description as "NAME" and
using PT154 A2 displays the content as "Russian text". This would seem
consistent with what Robert has indicated under Base.

Agreed. At the very least this would be an enhancement request to expand the
existing functionality of DBF import to offer field-by-field character set
specification or to cater for a quirk with how VFP writes these files out.

Given that MS Excel experiences the same import issue I am tossing this report
in the NEEDINFO bucket. It requires developer input as to what is feasible with
handling DBF files with multiple character sets.
