\xB0 is a degree symbol in ISO-8859-1. If you're using another encoding (e.g. UTF-8), you need to use something else. Some encodings (e.g. ISO-8859-5 = Cyrillic) don't have a degree symbol. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@grass.itc.it http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
