Now, in 2010, is this still valid? It seems that UTF-8 reached most systems. Also the poEdit software converts to UTF-8 while saving which I have to convert back with iconv to ISO-8859-15 (I tried DE). I assume that there will be language families for the various encodings. Recommendations welcome. ? Markus _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
