I'm forwarding to this list as I've got no answer in [R-sig-Geo] and perhaps this issue is not exclusive of readOGR()

I have problems at reading a shp file with readOGR(), names with non-ascii characters (accents ',`) in the dbf table are imported as i.e. Barber\x85 del Vall\x8as while I can read them fine with OpenOffice Calc Is there any way I can state the character set of the dbf file in readOGR()?
