My primary goal is to use filenames with none ASCII-characters like german umlauts or kyrillic-characters. I have installed the utf8local port, set the environment variable "LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8" in ~/.login for each user (including root) and use the sysconsolefont "iso15-8x16". This works fine for german umlauts when using the console only. But I get problems when using somthing like samba or rox-filer. I think they use libiconv, because using iconve to encode none-ASCII-characters from ISO_8859-15 to UTF-8 on the console I get the same glibberish as using samba (with a samba client like xsmbrows or windows) or konqueror or rox-filer... I don't know if it is problem with the font I use (I did not find a UTF-8 consolefont), the utf8local port or with libiconv. I have googled the web, searched the mailinglists, looked in to the Handbook and did not find a solution. I would realy appreciate your help. thx Sebastian -- If you share pain there is less of it.
