But I don't know which fonts are involved. OTOH, I have about every font package installed that is available in Debian, and if I 'ls' to show the directory, it just works. I also didn't tune anything that I am aware of. I just made a test by going into a directory which has an all-Chinese name. The tab title bar stops at the last directory with all-Latin characters, and only displays a trailing slash. If I go into that other directory with a mixed name, I get the question marks. I then made another test and created a directory with a different mixed name, but the same Chinese characters. Then I cd'ed into it, and the window title changed to only display the latin part of the directory name. To me, it seems that the display of Chinese characters is sort of "unstable". FWIW, the Chinese chaacters in question are 老歌。 Cheers, --Toni++
