[OSM-dev] 04to05.pl doesn't like Puerto Rico

[Milo van der Linden]

Welcome to the Spanish part of the world!
Things will even get nicer when you get to Russia or Greece ;-)

My guess is that the original file format was not UTF-8, you may have 
converted it, but in the conversion process, the new file decided to 
replace the ê ç and other characters.

I had the same problem with major cities of the world and ended up 
getting everything into postGIS that was Forced to UTF-8 and then look 
up the crazy characters and replace them by hand... sigh...

So I hope you run into a real solution, cause I would like to know too!
