Hi all, see also https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=74231 mkgmap sometimes fails to encode correct strings for a given codepage like 1252 (latin1). I've uploaded a file that contains an area in Germany where the u-umlaut in name Twülpstedt is encoded in two different ways, either with ü (0xfc) or as u + "COMBINING DIAERESIS" (0x75 + 0x308) See umlaut.osm at https://files.mkgmap.org.uk/detail/537
With the current code the 2nd variant is displayed as Twu?lpstedt. This 1-liner name = Normalizer.normalize(name, Normalizer.Form.NFC); helps to change the name to the usual encoding which works well with the codepage translation. So far so good. Now I wonder where exactly this call should be placed. My first idea was the code where the string is converted to a Garmin label, but maybe it should happen much earlier so that also the style rules "see" the normalized form. Any thoughts?
