[GRASS-user] ascii decode special character

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Frank,

Maybe I do not get what you mean, but changing the encoding for the psmap
file and the running ps.map with the newly saved file helped me with
special characters in Spanish such as accent and ñ. That's what we use
ps.map for, no? Or what do you mean then?

Cheers,
Vero
