Names of Cities in non-latin letters

[ska]

Hello,

I'm trying to make progress with a map of the island Samos / Greece. I did so with OsmAndMapCreator , because I did not found much with the Greece.map downloadable from within osmand.

When I run inspector on the created obf, I see one main culprit: some cities, towns, villages, ... use Greek letters, others use Latin ones.

So I enabled the Greek keyboard layout and still I cannot find Pythagóreio, Greece in osmand search, that is I select Greece, then try to enter the city name.

First: Under Linux inspector displays UTF8, in Windows just ANSI. How can I have inspector output UTF8 in Windows as well i?

Second: Can I have OsmAndMapCreator to use tags intl_name or name:en, if present; or even better is it possible to have _both_ names in the obf, the Greek one and the English one?

BTW: In inspector's output I see "City [VILLAGE] Πυθαγόρειο 275563675 (0)". So osmand should probably find it, when I enter Πυθ :-(

Kind regards, Steffen

Yes it should find by "Πυθ".
