Mapsource/Basecamp/GPSMapedit transliterating codepage 1251/1256 maps

Any Clues on this? If I create maps in arabic or kyrillic (or also greek) script - they do work fine on some computers - on others (notably windows 10) however they are transliterated into latin. Mkgmap is creating the maps correctly - is there any logic behind this/ way to stop those programs from transliterating into latin - WITHOUT changing windows default codepage to the map codepage? I do not really understand why/how this is happening and somehow miss the right clues to find out via google. -- Felix Hartman - Openmtbmap.org & VeloMap.org Schusterbergweg 32/8 6020 Innsbruck Austria - Österreich

Oh - forgot to add. Even though this seems to be a windows problem - maps produced in CP1251 with cgpsmapper do not seem to be affected by this transliteration. e.g. http://gis-lab.info/data/mp/ -- not transliterated. my sample map: https://openmtbmap.org/mtbgreece.exe is however shown on some windows computers in latin - on some in kyrillic/greek (1253). Codepages like 932 japanese or chinese which are really not transliterable do work fine on all computers however. Unicode of course also works on all computers.
