I can't compile a text TYP file saved in UTF-8 format. I found no information in the mkgmap help regarding the file format. From this message, I understand that mkgmap should be able to compile a unicode text TYP file but mkgmap crashes. I've been using this file in CP1252 successfully before.

I converted it in a text editor (UTF-8 with BOM), set the code page to "CodePage=65001".
This is the error I get :

Am I missing something or is this an mkgmap bug ?
