AIUI, v.label simply sets the labels as byte strings. Their<br>
interpretation is determined by the program which actually renders the<br>
labels, either by an explicit call to D_encoding(), or from the<br>
environment variable GRASS_ENCODING, or from the font's default<br>
encoding from the fontcap file.<br>
<br>
UTF-8 text should work with d.vect and d.labels if you use a FreeType<br>
font (but not for a stroke font, which only provide glyphs for the<br>
ASCII range). I wouldn't expect it to work with anything which<br>
generates PostScript.<br>
