Didn't have a chance to look at this until last night. Anyway, hi Ralf, cc'ing you to make sure you see it since this'll attach to an old thread in flightgear-devel.

Well, I did mention this over there earlier, in the second paragraph of: http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/terragear-devel/2006-March/001355.html but however you saw it, I'm very glad, because . . . > I think the non-latin-characters stem from > the fact that HGT.write_area - which is called from hgtchop - writes > the bucket to cout.

Bingo! This not only stopped the odd non-Latin-1 characters to the screen, but it solved the problem with hgtchop. I am able to proceed to the end of the tool chain and build tiles! The next problem (which I'll post over there): the cutouts for the airports place the airports at sea level. http://www.speakeasy.org/~cmetzler/KSDF_pit.jpg But while I want to get this fixed at some point, right now I'm able to do what I most need to do, which is review airports I've worked on in TaxiDraw.
