Question on MkgmapGUI and arabic letters

Hello
I don’t know if this is the right place for this question or not
I download part of Egypt map in osm format and when I convert it to img using MkgmapGUI
All Arabic letters appears as ??? :rage:
is there any solution or not

(((((sorry for my bad english)))))

You can try with the Mkgmap commandline parameter --utf8 and if that doesn’t help then try also with --code-page=1252. Hope this helps
