Hi Andreas, Marco and others Thanks a lot for your advice. I have found the solution. The problem was, that the shape-files had a UTF-8 encoding, but in the *.qgs the encoding was set to "System". Obviously, the "System-encoding" was not UTF-8 (surprise). So I had to change "<provider encoding="System" >ogr</provider>" to "<provider encoding="UTF-8" >ogr</provider>". Now it works fine.
Thanks a lot and best regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
