It’s great to hear you like the improvements

This will hopefully help to advocate for the use of OSM.

See e.g. http://www.itoworld.com/map/4?lon=-72.27848&lat=18.51272&zoom=16&open_sidebar=map_key&fullscreen=true where "Pétionville" is rendered as "Ptionville" (almost center, slightly to the left), "Tête de l'eau" is "Tte de l'eau" (center bottom) and "Péguy-Ville" is "Pguy-Ville" (right center).

The accented characters is a known issue. There’s no ETA on when it’ll be fixed currently.

Emailing support at itoworld.com is probably the most reliable way to contact to improve the maps.
