Thanks, once I knew better what to look for I also found g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8() which seems to be just what's needed in the second case. > Note that both methods will only work if your input file is indeed > encoded in system locale.

After that you can concatenate it with filename from your list and open it using fopen(). Note that both methods will only work if your input file is indeed encoded in system locale. If your file originates from other system that uses different locale, you're basically screwed. Hope this helps a bit.
