Yes mkgmap used to have bugs in recognising the codepage in the .mp file
and people came up with various workarounds that didn't work for everyone.

Now mkgmap is fixed to use the codepage that is in the .mp file
have to give the correct code page to osm2mp.

Note that the default codepage with osm2mp is 1251 which is for Russian and so
it is essential to give the --codepage 1252 option.
