Hi all, Using rsync, I copied a collection of MP3s from an ext3 partition on my Linux F9 box to a UFS partition my FreeBSD 7 box. Many of the song titles had accented characters, which are now displayed as two question marks (??) on my FreeBSD system, like this: Toquinho & Vin=C3=ADcius - Samba da Ben=C3=A7=C3=A3o.mp3 --> Toquinho & Vin??cius - Samba da Ben????o.mp3 Thinking that rsync might be interfering in some way, I checked the man pag= e and found this option to use: -8, --8-bit-output leave high-bit chars unescaped in output but it makes no difference. I then tried copying a file with scp and then just cp across an NFS share. In every case, the accents get hosed. My Linux box is configured for UTF-8: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG=3D"en_US.UTF-8" I would have assumed that this would also be the default setting for FreeBSD, but this appears not to be the case.=20 Googling, I came up with instructions for editing /etc/login.conf, so I added=20 :charset=3Den_US.UTF-8: under=20 default:\ exited the shell and logged in again, but no change.=20 What I am missing here? Thanks. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl --=20 View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ext3-to-ufs%3A-filename= -character-encoding-woes-tp19009703p19009703.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
