I get the non-ASCII Characters in the graph - by changing the character set of the editor which is used to create the batch files for the rrdgraph command from ANSI to CP850.<BR>
<BR>
But unfortunately I am still not able to chage the language settings for the axis labels. I tried different environment variables (LANGUAGE, LANG, LOCALE) set to different values (DE, de, DE_de, de_DE, de_de) without success. The axis lables are always in english.<BR>
<BR>
Anyone any idea?<BR>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">The axis labels come from the strftime library, which picks the abbreviation according to the Language settings. Set the environment LANG=de (I think) to make it pick German. However, under Windows, it should be picking this up from the internationalisation settings picked in the Windows OS?</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">To get non-ASCII characters inside the graph is a bit harder, though I believe it is possible under RRDTool 1.3 and later. I’ve not tried this yet, but I think you need to use the –font option to specify a TrueType font that has the required characters first. EG: --font “DEFAULT:0:Courier New” will change the default font name for all text to ‘Courier New’.

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Hello,</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB> </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>If running rrdtool (1.4.5) in Windows environment, I am not able to enter special German characters (like äöüß etc.) anywhere inside a graph (like in GPRINT, TITLE, COMMENT etc.).</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB> </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>In addition, I would like to configure German labels on the axis like “Mon,Die, Mit,Don, Fre, Sam, Son” instead of “Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun”.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>The documentation says, these strings depend on the current locale – but how can I set the current locale for rrdtool in a Windows environment?</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB> </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>I do not use Perl – just rrdtool.exe.</SPAN></P>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Any hint would be very much appreciated!</SPAN></P>
