[mkgmap-dev] how to use diacritical marks / accents in style file

Tue Jan 15 14:59:51 GMT 2013

I noticed that the style file rules (sometimes?) ignore diacritical marks or accents.
For instance I want to add a rule to render a bigger lakes in lower resolution, like lake Geneva:

this didnt work:
natural=water & name="Lac Léman"  [0x3d resolution 16]

only this works:
natural=water & name:en="Lake Geneva"  [0x3d resolution 16]

Same for name:de=Neuenburgersee (works) name="Lac de Neuchâtel" (didnt work)

Is there a way to use those accents in the style file rules?
