Hi Steve and Gerd, yes, you got me right. I was talking about stderr output where echo messages are printed. I have tried the following (under Windows): %JavaPath% -Xmx6144m -ea -jar -Dlog.config=%OptionsPath%\logging_properties.txt %ToolPath%\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar -c %OptionsPath%\%mkgmap_options% --mapname=%mapid% --overview-mapname=%overview_mapname% --family-id=%family_id% --product-id=%product_id% --gmapsupp %mkgmap_filename% %StylesPath%\%StylesFile% 2>>%LogfileName% content of logging_properties.txt is: java.util.logging.FileHandler.encoding=UTF-8 java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding=UTF-8 I am still getting outputs of echo "name='${name}'” as: ‘??????? ??????’ if the char set is not part of 1252 (e.g. for greek letters) I think I did not fully understand your hint with the logging properties.

UTF8 in logs: When I read your post my first question was: Is he talking about the log that is written to stderr/stdout or the one that is enabled with java -Dlog.config ... -jar mkgmap.jar ... I think the latter works fine, the first two look ugly when they write to a windows console. They also look fine when you pipe them to files like this java -Dlog.config ... -jar mkgmap.jar ... > mkgmap.stdout 2>mkgmap.stderr Gerd

Hi Walter,
It's great to hear that it is working well for you. It was just a few lines of code, perhaps no one asked before because they imagined it would be more difficult.
Do you know, if the logfile can only be written in ANSI coding, or if there is a way to use unicode for logfiles?
I don't know for sure, but make sure you have this included in your log.config file. java.util.logging.FileHandler.encoding=UTF-8
and try adding this too: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.encoding=UTF-8
