No, they are not. They display fine on the phone and on windowsmachines that I connect the card+reader to.

Thanks. After some time googling, I suspect that I need to add theiso-8859-8 codepage to the fstab entry. However, I don't seem to haveit:$ locate 8859 | grep ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-9.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-6.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-14.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-13.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-7.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-3.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-15.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-2.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-5.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-4.ko/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-1.ko
Anybody know how to install nls_iso8859-8.ko on Ubuntu? I'll ask onthe Ubuntu list, but someone here may know as well. Thanks.
