[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap: problems with encoding file used with option --license-file

Sun Dec 4 17:47:59 GMT 2016

When checked via BaseCamp while the eTrex or the oregon 450t is hooked 
up to my machine:

  * Scrambled Characters for the special characters....  shown only once
    (as the license-file thingy is missing on the device anyway)

© (c) Contour data: U.S. Geological Survey or J. de Ferranti (free for 
research and private use)
© (c) Map data: Osm contributors ������ (Odbl)
© (c) Map: Fzk project ������ (free for research and private use)

Directly on the device itself (tested both eTrex and oregon):

  * No additional stuff shown as in BaseCamp directly (the stuff that
    belongs to the map)
  * No special characters shown, looks like it cuts off everything on
    the line before the first special character.

It looks more or less (put together manually):

© (c) Map: Fzk project
© (c) Map data: Osm contributors
© (c) Contour data: U.S. Geological Survey or J. de Ferranti (free for 
research and private use)

And just to clarify again: the source file for the the option 
license-file and for the option copyright-file is the same file, it's 
only one file. And this is, according to my editors, properly utf8.... :-(
Strange stuff... ;-)

Cheers
Patrik
