Open a terminal and cd to a writeable directory of your choice (which you can access with Thunar). Reproduce these commands and see if your results are different: $ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"' € (this is a UTF8 euro sign printed in the terminal) $ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"'|wc -m 2 (this is confirmation that the system knows it's a euro and a linefeed) $ perl -e 'print "touch \xe2\x82\xac\n"'|sh (this is to create a file with a euro name, now check what is shown in Thunar) Let me know what you get. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
