Thanks Richard

That imported the blocks and text as far as viewing is concerned.

However, the text is part of the Linestring layer and not in the text column of the Postgresql table.

Is this to be expected?

Is there some way of identifying the text?

Before running ogr2ogr try setting:
  set PGCLIENTENCODING=LATIN1

Hi

I am attempting to import a dxf file to Postgis using ogr2ogr version 1.8
running on Win 7.

I get errors “invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xfe” using the
following command in command prompt. Points and text are not being imported.

set DXF_INLINE_BLOCKS=false&set DXF_MERGE_BLOCK_GEOMETRIES=false&&ogr2ogr
--config DXF_ENCODING UTF-8 -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=localhost user=postgres
dbname=IDW password=calgary0623" Water_Ex.dxf -nln Import_PID  -overwrite
-skipfailures

During research of this problem I came upon a suggestion to check with the
Postgre list.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Following are a few of the error messages.
