Hi Ramon,
I agree with you. I fixed the utf-8 issue by inserting
SET SHAPE_ENCODING=UTF-8
at the beginning of the qgis.bat. No problems since then.

On windows, with OSGeo packages, doing that will probably create other problems.
hmm.. are we talking about the same problem?
I use Fedora and gdal version 1.9.1-10 in my PC and windows xp in the
lab where I use QGIS 1.8.0 for an introductory course in GIS.
the problem is:

I did something similar by saving Greek fields in a new table (in

the dbf (save as, same name, overwrite).
