There are some examples of filenames which contains localized
characters form iso-8859-2. But I don't know how localized character
from my post will be looked like in mailing list.

$ dia -t eps zkušebnísouborsčeštinou.dia
Missing input: zkušebnísouborsčeštinou.dia

Another examples of filenames with localized chars:
ěščřžýáíéťďňúů.dia
jméno.dia
název.dia

If in filenames is any character from iso-8859-2 which isn't
from pure ASCII, Dia refuse this input given from cmd line.

So, it is big problem for me, because I have much work in Dia and
I used it in many Makefiles, TeX sources files, etc.

I don't know exactly right syntax of URI filenames. Could you give me an
example of URI-style name for Dia, e.g. for my examples of filenames
above? I will try it with Dia.

Yes. Within Dia GUI everything works fine. Only little bug is with
producing EPS export through menu Export/Encapsulated Postscript
(using Pango fonts) (*.eps). In exported EPS source file at line
beginning with "%%Title:", the file name of Dia diagram is with UTF-8
coding regardless to locale settings. But it is not so important.


Sorry for my bad english. I hope it is not so horrible.

Best regards
Karel
