[GRASS-user] ascii decode special character

[Frank David]

Hi Vero,

I mean that "kilometer" is not a string from my psmap, it's a part of 
scale object "scalebar" in the psmap file :

scalebar s
     where 7.0 9.3
     length 10.0
     units kilometers
     height 0.04
     ...

The translation in french (with accent), when the GUI is set in french, 
is made by Grass.

All my special characters are well printed in my ps file, except the 
scale unit... ;-(

Do you see what I mean ?

Cheers,

Frank
