Thanks

Installed the update, but the "Ț,ț" is showed like an empty rectangle in the search, an on the map the "Ț,ț" character isn't showed at all, for example: "Romania/Sibiu/TOWN CENTER/Pia a Mare" should be "Romania/Sibiu/TOWN CENTER/Piața Mare". Does the program uses system font, uses more fonts, and witch fonts does it use? Thanks.

Found the problem, it's not with your software, but it is with the OSM maps, made a little modification to a perl script removeDiacritics.pl, added:
# additional ro normalizations ÂĂÎȚȘâăîțș:
s/\x{82c3}/\x41/g; ## Â c3 82
s/\x{a2c3}/\x61/g; ## â c3 a2
s/\x{98c8}/\x53/g; ## Ș c8 98
s/\x{99c8}/\x73/g; ## ș c8 99
s/\x{8ec3}/\x49/g; ## Î c3 8e
s/\x{aec3}/\x69/g; ## î c3 ae
s/\x{82c4}/\x41/g; ## Ă c4 82
s/\x{83c4}/\x61/g; ## ă c4 83
s/\x{9ac8}/\x54/g; ## Ț c8 9a
s/\x{9bc8}/\x74/g; ## ț c8 9b

so that the romanian characters are converted to normal letters in the romania.osm, before the map is to be converted. Maybe this will be usefull.

For example 0x99c8 in Tahoma is mapped to a Chinese character CJK Unified Ideographs, and in Romanian it should be ș, like I said, not sure even if the problem is in the OSM map because for these character there are other mapping in the font that should be chinese to but they are looking ok, maybe it's the OS that has something to do with the Regional settings.
