I do that - Its not that ALL utf-8 characters get garbled but rather
osmosis failed to import them correctly. So in mysql they are already
garbled. I checked some russian utf-8 names and i didnt find a problem.
I looked at hebrew stuff as that was the broken tile i got told first
and most of the hebrew was broken in that bbox.
So i have no clue what the problem was/is but in the end i am going to
switch over to postgres as the map.cgi is MUCH simpler as most of the
stuff can be done nicely in sql syntax and in the end its faster too.
