[OSM-talk] JOSM and swedish characters

[Tommy Persson]

I am running Debian unstable.  So what is the methot to get 8-bit
characters to work in JOSM?  I managed to input å,ä ens é and the look OK in the property box.  But when I save the file (Files->Save) I get 

  Rydsvägen (Rydsvägen)
  MÃ¥rdtorpsgatan (Mårdtorpsgatan)

My settings is

  rice:~> echo $LANG
  C
  rice:~> echo $LC_CTYPE 
  sv_SE

and I do not use UTF stuff.

A JOSM question.  How do you select the segments in a way?  And how do
you choose between different ways containing the same segments?


I must say that I am really impressed with JOSM.  I looked at it to
get inspired for osmpedit but when I noticed that the user interface
was of a type I like (minimal number of actions and no menu levels tha
you have to use often) I did not help my inspiration for developing
osmpedit...  Maybe I should learn more about databases and Ruby
instead...  I have updated osmpedit so it supports ways somewhat and
the perl classes are updated to handel ways.
