Hi again, I tried the various suggestions kindly posted here, but it seems like I still do something wrong or don't quite understand how to use these character encodings. So - I created a new set of abbreivations in the species name list, where all abbreivations are without å,ä,ö. You may say that the problem itself is not solved, but the maps are showing up as they should and that's good enough. Thanks anyway Lennart
