[mkgmap-dev] chinese characters

Mon Oct 15 18:49:31 BST 2012

hi,

i tried maps of taiwan with codepage 950 and 936 but they dont show any 
chinese charaters (just nothing instead) on the garmin. the english 
names in braces are ok. the maps work like expected in qlandkartegt.

i also tried to build a map of japan with codepage 932.
the map shows no characters at all and glandkartegt segfaults when i try 
to open it :-(

here are my options:
java  -ea -Xmx8096m -jar /work/src/mkgmap_all/trunk/dist/mkgmap.jar 
--max-jobs=3  --keep-going --index --route --description=$(NAME) 
--country-name=$(NAME) --country-abbr=$(ABBR) --region-name=$(NAME) 
--region-abbr=$(ABBR) --overview-mapname=$(NAME)_Overview 
--overview-mapnumber=0$(F_ID)0000 --code-page=$(CODEPAGE) --lower-case 
--family-id=$(F_ID) --product-id=$(F_ID) --series-name=$(NAME) 
--family-name=$(NAME) --area-name=$(NAME) --draw-priority=10 
--style-file=../share/mkgmap_styles/style_tobi 
--generate-sea=multipolygon,extend-sea-sectors,close-gaps=6000,floodblocker 
--add-pois-to-areas --remove-short-arcs $(MKGOPTS) --gmapsupp 
splits/*.osm.gz  $(TYP)
