Re: [GRASS-user] v.label utf8 possible?
Glynn, thanks for the answer. "I wouldn't expect it to work with anything which generates PostScript." I also tested it not only with ps.map but also cairo ps output and ps driver. ps.map and ps driver fails with utf-8 vector using Biolinum font. Ghostscript drops the an error on the resulting ps (see e-mail end) Good news: Cairo ps output generates even utf-8 d.vect correctly (with rasterized font glyphs), but ignores export GRASS_RENDER_PS_HEADER=FALSE export GRASS_RENDER_PS_TRAILER=FALSE settings. Well, this is understandable since these are PS driver options. A beautiful combination would be to use the cairo PS output with the options above...

Their interpretation is determined by the program which actually renders the labels, either by an explicit call to D_encoding(), or from the environment variable GRASS_ENCODING, or from the font's default encoding from the fontcap file. UTF-8 text should work with d.vect and d.labels if you use a FreeType font (but not for a stroke font, which only provide glyphs for the ASCII range). I wouldn't expect it to work with anything which generates PostScript. -- Glynn Clements ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

AFAIK there is no encoding support available in v.labels at time.

[GRASS-user] v.label utf8 possible?
Hello Everyone, I'd like to create a label for a point vector map with point names to be utilized in map composer (ps.map). Everything works except that I cannot use my UTF8 strings. They are rendered as latin1 as far as I can see. Using d.vect strings are displayed correctly: d.vect --quiet map=places@Duna where="type='village' OR type='town'" color=none fill_color=red width=1 icon=basic/circle attribute_column=name label_color=black label_size=9 font=LinBiolinum_R encoding=UTF-8 but there is no encoding option in v.label. I've found some links to v.label.sa which is not available in my Grass setup nor on the extension list. Grass version is: *> g.version -breGRASS 7.0.4 (2016) ./configure --prefix=/opt/grass --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-wxwidgets=/usr/bin/wx-config --with-readline --with-pthread --with-netcdf --with-liblas --with-blas --with-lapack --with-geos --with-nls --with-geos --with-postgreslibgis Revision: 67364 libgis Date: 2015-12-24 16:07:44 +0100 (Thu, 24 Dec 2015) PROJ.4: 4.9.2GDAL/OGR: 2.1.0GEOS: 3.5.0SQLite: 3.13.0* Is there a chance to create it at all?
