The directory was created in windows, the document also, and I can handle them perfectly from windows (what is more, libreoffice under a linux can also open those documents). Some accented characters are shown as a question mark in FreeBSD, and some others are as a black rectangle; these latter are causing problems. If a file-nam contains such characters then the file is shown as 0- length in Midnight Commander.

In my German environment I also use FAT32 formatted drives, mounted like:

/dev/adaXsX	/XXX	msdosfs	rw,large,-Lde_DE.UTF-8	0	0

This should also work for Hungarian?
