iconv isn't necessarily required for localised messages. At least, GRASS doesn't use it explicitly; it uses libintl (typically from GNU gettext), which may use iconv internally. The only GRASS code which uses iconv() directly is the FreeType text rendering code in the display system. FreeType indexes glyphs by their Unicode codepoint. If you have iconv, any text will be converted from the encoding specified by $GRASS_ENCODING or "d.font charset=". If you don't have iconv, all text is assumed to be encoded in ISO-8859-1 (the first 256 Unicode codepoints correspond to ISO-8859-1). -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
