Comment(by nvkelso):
Cool!
See earlier comment about iso8859-1 not being a perfect match for
Windows-1252.
The European cases will work themselves out (eg s-caron) over time and may
be other funk. However, the romanized Vietnamese doesn't show up well in
Windows-1252 in the first place. This only affects the admin-1 (states,
provinces) in 2.0 (may change in future versions).
Now that OGR has support for reading GeoDB files, it would be be better to
import from the GeoDB original which is in UTF-8 into the PostGIS db
directly rather than using the SHP which looses the details on conversion.
