Hebrew filenames problem
#1
Question 
I have many mp3 files and some of them are in foreign languages :

Russian and Greece shows OK.

If file name in Hebrew it shows little squares instead of letters.

I use latest version of XBMC on Ubuntu 10.10

What should I do in XBMC settings to see filenames in Hebrew correctly ?

A quick search for "hebrew" found lots of posts including http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81836 if that helps.

Hi !

I checked the thread and it's nothing helpful there.
It says " set your charset properly and it should work. Some OS comes with no unicode support at all"

I have Ubuntu 10.10 and I can see proper file names in Hebrew and other languages everywhere : in standard xterm, in Nautilus file browser, in Gnome commander (another file browser) but not in XBMC. If I can see Russian and Greek, sometimes japanese filenames everywhere else I suppose I do have Unicode file system
. As I mentioned Russian and Greek filenames/directories shows OK in XBMC, so I don't quite understand what's wrong. Should I add fonts to XBMC ?
Is is skin related : I tried to change charset to Hebrew but it doesn't solve the problem,

It would be very helpful if somebody from XBMC tean can put a small doc regarding foreign languages usage.
