Its all just array lookups so quicker than it sounds!
With unicode maps (I just got a tiny example working, see the “unicode” thread), there is another problem: Since all characters are mappable, no transliteration would take place. But what would be desirable is to base the decision whether to transliterate on whether the target device has the characters in its repertoire (since the device simply shows nothing at all for characters outside its repertoire). For my device this means: Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek -> map Hebrew and many other -> transliterate More array lookups… But the contents for these arrays would need researching… rj _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
