[GRASS-user] v.label utf8 possible?

[Robert Kuszinger]

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 at 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-wxwidgets=/usr/bin/wx-config --with-readline --with-pthread

2.1.0GEOS: 3.5.0SQLite: 3.13.0*

Is there a chance to create it at all? UTF-8 is essential and some
characters I need to print are not available in latin1.

thanks
Robert
