Hello together,
I'm using makemap (r3696) on Windows (non UTF-8 locale) and on Linux
(UTF-8 locale) and got very strange and platform dependant behaviour.
So I started to use the option -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 in the java call of
mkgmap to have at least the same, still strange and different behaviour
on both platforms.
Here the facts:
* I have special characters (Latin1) in the license file: äöüéè ...
* If I build a unicode map and the license file is properly encoded in
Unicode, Basecamp shows at the end scrambled characters
* I'm able to get a unicode map with correct license info (no
scrambled chars) only on Windows (non-utf8 environment) without
calling mkgmap with -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 and some additional cheats
* If I use mkgmap to create a gmapsupp.img it again looks different,
bit better but not good.
I know these facts are a bit unspecific, but I've really tested out
quite a lot and no combination / tries did help to solve the problems.
And before investing even more time and get completely lost I'll ask for
help.
Therefore:
did I miss something essential or are the parameters --license-file and
--copyright-file (I use the same file for both parameters) handled
specially/different than other source files for mkgmap (no/different
encoding support ?).
We never had any problems with utf8 encoded style files or typ source
files, all went always very smooth as long as everything was utf-8...but
with the license files I got stuck now.
Thanks in advance for hints / solutions / confirmations.
Cheers
Patrik
