Yep. Changing to --code-page=1257 fixes Lithuanian letters!
hmm. i might be doing something wrong... but --code-page=1257 with mkgmap 1867 still results in garbled latvian characters.
Do you have an example? Can you check the file with a hex editor. For example, if you have a string Test*#% that shows up as Test&/!, search for "Test" in the img file and show the hexdump. Also, what encoding is
Ū -> DB Ā -> C2 Ņ -> D2 Ļ -> CF Ž -> DE
the input in? UTF-8 like XML? What chars should they be?
it's an osm xml from geofabrik downloads, so i'd expect it to be proper utf8 :)
You might find the GNU Recode tool useful when diagnosing character set translation problems. For example, if your terminal emulator is configured to use the UTF-8 encoding, the following should encode your input properly, or complain if it cannot be done:
echo 'your utf-8 string'|recode utf8..cp1257|od -t x1
echo 'Ž'|recode utf8..cp1257|od -t x1 0000000 de 0d 0a 0000003
so it might be that the file has properly encoded characters, but the device does not properly display them ? if i "manually" compare what they look like on the gps device and onscreen, result on gps device seems to match what i get if i look at cp1257 (or iso-8859-13) encoded text in a unicode terminal...
