If you want to stick with GMT4 format for now you can, but you are using a =
mix of things so pstext must assume you are using GMT5 format for input, he=
nce your result.<br>
<br>
GMT4 format is: x y size angle font justification text<br>
<br>
As you can see you have a font name for angle, Black for font, 0 for justif=
ication, etc etc so it will instead assume you are giving it x y text<br>
<br>
Fonts are specified as one item; see the GMT5 documentation on fonts.=C2=A0=
 An example would be 12p,Helvetica,black<br>
<br>
GMT5 lets you place all constant parameters on the command line instead of =
in the file.=C2=A0 If all your labels had the same specs except for locatio=
n and text then you would just use<br>
-82.8 30.3 Florida<br>
and use -F+f12p,Helvetica,black+jBL to set those two parameters (the zero a=
ngle is default, i.e. same as adding +a0).=C2=A0 If you instead want to rea=
d any of those items from the data file then you leave off the arguments, i=
.e. -F+f+a+j would expect font, angle, and justification to follow x,y, in =
that order.<br>


If so then the equivalent GMT5 file would look like<br>
<br>
-82.8 30.3 12p,Helvetica,black 0 BL Florida<br>
