Hi. I have some problems with locales and nls, specially in vfat. Let's see: I'm Spanish, so I need locales starting in es_ES. As I want to write Japanese too, I need utf-8. So I have LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8". LANG is the same. I can create files with ñ, á é í ó ú (those were vowels with accents, if you can't see them). In a vfat partition, I touch a file named "cañón". I can mount the filesystem with and without codepage=850, and with and without iocharset =iso8859-15. In windows, I can't see the utf-8 cañón, but I can see all the others. But in linux I always see the same, only the utf-8 cañón. More things: I've tested different kernels. One with utf-8 as default, and the other with iso8859-15. The result is the same. As modules, I have this:
bash-3.1$ lsmod | grep nls nls_iso8859_15 4736 1 nls_cp850 4992 1 nls_utf8 2112 0 nls_utf8 doesn't seem to be used, but I don't know it this right. And last thing: the characters used to make squares in ncurses. Configuring the kernel, for example. make menuconfig gives garbage in the console, but looks nice under X, with an ext3 filesystem. The mounting options are the same in both cases, of course. So this is all. I don't know what do to. Any help?
