Hi,

After initially being put off by seeing complicated scripts, I've started to use psmap. I wanted to use the postscript fill patterns to create a geological map that would reproduce in black and white. It's really good - the commands are pretty easy and the results look clear and excellent.

Anyway. I have digitised some of the main peaks in the region, whose names contain Icelandic characters. Their names contain Icelandic characters. Using v.db.select, they appear to have stored correctly. When I use labels created from the vector, the characters appear as gaps with d.labels and as nonsense symbols using ps.map.

I read on the psmap g.manual page about character encoding, but don't know how it applies to the labels/database.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

John
