Joe, Nothing like that, but on a somewhat related note, I've noticed after installing OS X on my B&W G4 that all files that had an accented character in their names were kinda renamed. e.g. 'N�m�sys' was renamed to 'Ne`me`sys', or something similar. When I mount a partition on my PowerBook that has whether the partition name or another item on the partition with such accented characters, the names were showing fine. Very strange. I haven't found any explanation so far (but I haven't looked very hard either)...
