<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Great! Thanks a lot Vaclov! :)<br>
<br>
os.environ['GRASS_FONT']='Ubuntu:Regular'<br>
<br>
did the trick for me - of course I am on Ubuntu :) <br>
<br>
Thanks for the wxPython text explanation - I was wondering if there where some other d.text-function I might use in my scripting.<br>
<br>
Actually d.text in the gui crashed when I tried it (several times.... without any greek letters)<br>
<br>
Thanks again! <br>
<br>
Hope to see you in Bonn<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

I am struggling with using the greek letter µ in my d.text from a python script:<br>
<br>
I trying something like this<br>
<br>
Module('d.text',text='µ',at=('85','20') charset='utf8')<br>

<div>you need to set GRASS_FONT to some font which supports Greek letters. Use d.fontlist or d.font -l to get the proper names of fonts. This works for me in command line on Ubuntu:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
export GRASS_FONT=Ubuntu:Regular<br>
d.mon wx0<br>
d.text text=èùåñôøõéïðáóäöãçòêëæ÷îùâíìÜÝÞßúÀüýûàþ at=5,95<br>

I know that the issue is with the encoding of the characters..... but I do not know how to fix it.

<div>I'm not sure which operating system you are using but on Linux, you usually don't need to set the font, everything is UTF-8.<br>

<br>
In the gui i can use µ with add text layer - so I guess this is a python to grass issue.

<div class="gmail_extra">The behavior is different (for good or bad) - in GUI, d.text is actually not used and wxPython text drawing is used instead.<br>
