[mkgmap-dev] how to use utf-8 in stderr output

Wed Jan 14 18:26:43 GMT 2015

Hi Steve and Gerd,

yes, you got me right. I was talking about stderr output where echo messages are printed.

I have tried the following (under Windows):

%JavaPath% -Xmx6144m -ea -jar -Dlog.config=%OptionsPath%\logging_properties.txt  
%ToolPath%\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar  -c %OptionsPath%\%mkgmap_options%  
--mapname=%mapid%  --overview-mapname=%overview_mapname%  
--family-id=%family_id%  --product-id=%product_id%  
--gmapsupp %mkgmap_filename%  
%StylesPath%\%StylesFile%  2>>%LogfileName%

content of logging_properties.txt is:

java.util.logging.FileHandler.encoding=UTF-8
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding=UTF-8

I am still getting outputs of echo "name='${name}'” as: ‘??????? ??????’
if the char set is not part of 1252 (e.g. for greek letters)

I think I did not fully understand your hint with the logging properties.

Hi Walter,

reg. UTF8 in logs:
When I read your post my first question was: Is he talking about the log
that is written to stderr/stdout or the one that is enabled with
java -Dlog.config ... -jar mkgmap.jar ...

I think the latter works fine, the first two look ugly when they write to a 
windows console. They also look fine when you pipe them to files
like this
java -Dlog.config ... -jar mkgmap.jar ...  > mkgmap.stdout 2>mkgmap.stderr
