Probably, mkgmap should make some effort to automatically write a sensible code page -- how are the options latin1, charset and code-page meant to work together? Does one affect input, the other output?
Its mostly historical when I didn't fully understand what was required. The two things were selecting between the 6 bit format and the 8 bit format and then getting the correct character set for the 8 bit format. I need a charset to do the conversion, but I think that I can always create one from a code page number. latin1 is just a shortcut for charset=iso-8859-1. As codepage is used inside the file, everything should be done in terms of codepage so latin1 should be codepage=1251 etc. Cheers, ..Steve
