[mkgmap-dev] Mapsource/Basecamp/GPSMapedit transliterating codepage 1251/1256 maps

Tue Jun 27 10:56:06 BST 2017

okay - well I left all .typfiles in latin1 anyhow. Simple latin alphabet in
caps is supported in basically all code-pages worldwide anyhow. Also I
suppose this bug is related to windows somehow - as opening single .img
files in gpsmapedit will show latin only too - and I did not load any .typ
file in gpsmapedit.

I simply wonder if this is fixable or not - or better what settings/system
this depends on.
The really strange thing still is that cgpsmapper produced maps are not
affected by this problem. Windows 7 / Server 2008 seems to be okay. Windows
10 seems be affected by this problem on mkgmap created maps.

(sorry Nick for sending this twice to you - hit the wrong reply first)
