Dear List, I have trouble with the ps.map module and character encoding in the legend. I have french characters (é,è and others) as a layer label. The layer itself was imported from a postgis database, which has a unicode encoding. As far as I understand the manual for ps.map, you need your mapping instructions file encoded to ISO-8859-1. At the end of the manual is the appropriate command listed. so far so good. But I use a condition for my vector layer, which has the layer name as where clause term. Converting my mapping instructions file to ISO-8859-1 gives me another error, with the result that the layer cannot be drawn and ps.map exits. Here's the error:
ps.map -e input=print.txt output=print.ps PS-PAINT: scale set to 1 : 360512. PS-PAINT: reading raster file <dgm in PERMANENT> ... PS-PAINT: reading vector points file <sites in PERMANENT> ...DBMI-Postgres driver error: Cannot select: SELECT id FROM sites WHERE epoch = 'M�solithique' ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe9736f HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding". Any help is greatly appreciated Frank _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list grassuser@grass.itc.it http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
