#3078: ps.map unicode support
-----------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: kuszinger | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.2.0
Component: Ps.map | Version: 7.0.4
Keywords: codepage, utf-8 | CPU: All
Platform: Unspecified |
-----------------------------+-------------------------
ps.map currently handles latin1 (iso8859-1) codepage texts in all manners.
Regarding the international use of GRASS GIS it would be essential to
widen this option to support UTF-8 encoded strings for text, labelling and
so on.
Extract from present ps.map manual:
"For users wanting to use special characters (such as accented characters)
'''it is important to note that ps.map uses ISO-8859-1 encoding'''. This
means that your instructions file will have to be encoded in this
encoding. If you normally work in a different encoding environment (such
as UTF-8), you have to transform your file to the ISO-8859-1 encoding, for
example by using the iconv utility:
iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO_8859-1 utf_file > iso_file
"
