[GRASS-user] d.out.file fails to create PDF output on OSX

[Christian Kaiser]

William,

No, I didn't see your response. Sorry for this. I didn't find them in my mails, and my research in the archive was not successful.
Anyway, thank you very much for the quick answer. Everything is ok now. It did solve the problem.
I could have thought of this solution by myself... Sometimes brain is just switched off...

BTW, thank you for the great work you are doing for the community. And all the others too, of course! It is a real pleasure working with GRASS.

Regards,
Christian Kaiser
