Description

QGIS desktop accepts accented characters as column names for shapefile dbf, and everything seems to work smoothly.
The same files however are not displayed in QGIS sever when that field is used for classification.
I think they should not be allowed anywhere, but if they are, they should work the same in desktop and server.

DBF standard defines ISO8859-1 as the default (and theorically the only accepted) encoding. We should guarantee support at least for this encoding...
