For 140.000 people you should use: max_locks 300000 and max_objects 300000 The easiest way to do this is to create an empty database the add a file DB_CONFIG to the database directory before importing (see gramps -l output for the directory of a specific family tree. Contents of this DB_CONFIG file should be:  #may want to fiddle with cachesize also #set_cachesize 0 200000000 2 set_lk_max_locks 300000 set_lk_max_objects 300000  See bug report below.

RTF (''C style escape'See also') and LaTeX (''latin1'') file format backends on output not initially designed for a unicode support. It is possible to get strange non-ASCII character handling when using these formats. It could be very specific, because it has been tested and improved since many versions, but still possible. * {{bug|3802}} relationship graph URL's not working with PDF format ==== See also ====* (resolved) {{bug|6883}} non-Western fonts broken in PS reports* (resolved) {{bug|6884}} RTF reports backend seems to be non-UTF-aware, breaks non-Western text [[Category:Troubleshooting]][[httpsCategory:Developers//bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/387665 GNOME BugQuality Assurance]]
