I can't comment on GDAL/OGR issues, but the display library will accept data in any encoding recognised by iconv[1] when using FreeType fonts. You just need to specify the encoding via the charset= option. [1] Provided that GRASS was built to use iconv(); this is autodetected. Otherwise, text is treated as ISO-8859-1. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
