Hi, using current Geofabrik extracts for Germany I run in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.labelenc.Format6Encoder.put6(Format6Encoder.java:136) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.labelenc.Format6Encoder.encodeText(Format6Encoder.java:90) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.Label.write(Label.java:117) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.lbl.LBLFile.newLabel(LBLFile.java:125) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.build.MapBuilder.processPOIs(MapBuilder.java:461) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.build.MapBuilder.makeMap(MapBuilder.java:193) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.MapMaker.makeMap(MapMaker.java:96) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.MapMaker.makeMap(MapMaker.java:61) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main$1.call(Main.java:189) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main$1.call(Main.java:1) The string to encode is "½" (1/2 as single character). This is used as housenumber in Wuerzburg: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.801248&lon=9.927579&zoom=18 To solve this I increased the byte buffer provided in encodeText by 1. But I'm not sure if this is the right solution. Ronny
