<BR>Hi Tobi,<BR>
thank you very much for the info - although it does not help me changing the language settings for my rrd graphs :-(<BR>
I downloaded the rrdtool for windows binaries directly from here -> <A href="https://sites.google.com/site/christiankrausse/projekte/perl/rrds-perl-windows-v">https://sites.google.com/site/christiankrausse/projekte/perl/rrds-perl-windows-v</A> because I am not able to compile the sources by myself...<BR>
<BR>
Could it be an option for a future release of rrdtool to add a 'language' parameter like MRTG have? ;-)<BR>
<BR>
Regards Piet<BR>
<BR>

Set the environment LANG=de (I think) to make it pick German.

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?.
