I have a strange problem with special characters over samba. Some filenames have umlauts in them which - are not displayed correctly by konsole (replaced by "?") - *are* displayed correctly on the exporting servers text console - are converted to many strange things on the mounting machine (:x8, \304, etc.) depending to the iocharset given to smbmount.
I've got so far that Konqueror is at least able to handle those characters (it's displaying funny boxes instead of characters, but it's better than anything else so far). GTK applications just go boom when encounetring umlauts, so I won't even try to describe what grip and xmms do. With LANG set to en_US.UTF-8, konsole even accepts and prints umlauts on the command line. Is there any way to get that stuff in order? Perhaps a way to at least determine the current charset used by a console and then set it properly? -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de
