Hi GnomeVFS Team, Gnome uses basically UTF8 as a character set encoding because of it's future-oriented characteristic, but many people in countries that use 2-byte language still use other character set encodings. Although Gnome has higher i18n and l10n qualities, it is not enough to support other character set encoding except UTF8. In especial, this problem is that nautilus show broken filename when I try to access some remote filesystems, such as ftp and sftp, that use other encoding via nautilus. For example, I'm korean and use UTF8 as default encoding. However, most servers that provide ftp or sftp service use EUC-KR as encoding. For this reason, I have many experiences that nautilus showed a series of strange strings as filenames. This problem has been chronic since Gnome used UTF8 as default character set encoding. Consequently, I strongly propose that GnomeVFS team make an issue of this problem. I expect that if you do that, many gnome hacker in 2-byte language countries will suggest a variety of good ideas.
