Almost but not quite... + ???? What I did: Let mkgmap process: "mapnik.txt". mkgmap will create: "mapnik.typ". So your suggestion is working ok! Open "44010.typ" in TYPViewer. This is oké now. If I want, I can Save "mapnik.typ" as "mapnik.txt". Done! But don't ask me about the differences between your patch and my "reverse engineering". TYPViewer will replace "." by " " and "1" by "!". Oké give TYPViewer this as patch. TYPViewer still not happy. I am though... This is what I see in TYPViewer: ExtendedLabels=Y FontStyle=NoLabel (invisible) CustomColor=No Xpm="32 32 2 1" "! c #FFFFFF" " c none" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " ;12345678901234567890123456789012 [end] Eric -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html
