Thank you :-) I tried it and now instead of 03 - ????????? ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????? ?????????????????????????????? - ????????? ?????????????????????.pdf the file name shows up in terminal as 03 - ___ ______ ___ ______ - __ _____.pdf Wondering if I should be using some other locale *not* starting with en_ The language is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam_(Unicode_block) Also wondering if that is the case can two locale's be used on the system simultaneously? Thank you :-) Siju
