Andreas, Hmm, encoding in DXF is not something I have given any consideration to so far. The PostGIS driver should be returning the text in utf-8, but I do nothing special to process text read or written from/to DXF. I ought to be. Could you file a ticket on this issue? It would be helpful to include a small example DXF created with autocad that does display the character(s) in question properly and then an example of what happens with OGR. > * should label angle work? (in my case it doesn't) I have confirmed that when trying to write MTEXT entities the style string is checked for angle and trying to write it. There might be problems with this though I thought it was working in my test suite. If you file a ticket, with example input I will dig into the details. > * should anchor position work? Yes, it should. There is code to translate the anchor. If it isn't working please file a ticket. > Here is an example OGR feature-style that I am testing: > > LABEL(f:"Cadastra Cn,Arial",s:1.5g,t:"PVC 150 -6.96-",c:#FF0000,a:72,p:3) > > In the above example, the label angle does not work - I am unsure about > the anchor position.
