The ATM fails to display the characters correctly since environmental variable GRASS_DB_ENCODING is not set. I can't find any place where it would be set. The list of grass variable says that there is GRASS gisenv variable GRASS_DB_ENCODING. Grep shows usage of GRASS_DB_ENCODING only in gui and it is not set anywhere. Any idea someone?</div><div><br></div><div>Anna</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div></div><br></div>Thanks<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class=""><font color="#888888">Daniel<br></font></span></div>
