Description

In QGIS 1.7.1, when I have created a new shapefile with Japanese characters on the field names, the field names are garbled.
This is because field names are written in UTF-8, but values are written in Shift_JIS, I think.
(The rest is omitted. Here Shift_JIS is the same as the selected encoding.)

In 1.6.0, I think that was the field names are displayed instead of garbled.
