Maybe it is beyond the topic? When I program with the iconv, I find display a file with international char needs right mount option. This question comes to me: why the kernel need special code page to mount a disk with international char? Any filename is a array of number, right? So, as I think the kernel does not need to know the encoding and what a X program needs to do is read the raw filename and translate it to UTF-8 and show it. What the kernel do here? ___________________________________________________________ 雅虎免费G邮箱-中国第一绝无垃圾邮件骚扰超大邮箱 http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/?id=77071 _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
