That's correct Glynn, I've just tested that. The trick is as simple as to use *Truetype* font and set charset to the encoding used in the input vector map (Apparently, my GRASS was not built to use iconv() :-) Anyway, GRASS is so nice, thanks to all of you :-) Jana I can't comment on

CORRECTION: It is still desirable to change the character encoding directly in the .dbf file after import. Reason is that setting truetype and character encoding using d.font.freetype only affects display commands, but reading database (e.g., using db.select) is still scrambled. Maybe there is
