I'm looking for a solution to the same problem. You might find this page instructive:- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html My system is set to LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, filesystems ext3 and ext4, I suspect the file names where originally created using an ISO character set. See an example:- http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/pngTe0u43cmOF.png I don't think the "no white spaces" and "no accented characters" "rule" is valid in the 21st century. But if some one can put up an authoritative, and recent, reason I'll reconsider. Cheers -- I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullsh#t. We're a virus with shoes, okay?
