Elaborate, please. That has just too many meanings.

Given your xinitrc, wasn't LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 enough ?
Usually, it's just 'UTF-8' part that matters.

What does 'ls -b' print for that pdf file ?

Add "cjk" to your USE flags. It can't hurt, and is needed for some apps.

Does Rox only mangle filenames, or does it fail at displaying Chinese characters in general? Can you try changing the menus to Chinese and seeing if that works?

Also, try changing the display font in rox to a unicode font -- perhaps font substitution is broken.

rox is pygtk, so as long as a truetype font is there, it should find it.
Again about 'ls -b'.

I've never used Rox, so I don't know where it is, but there must be a setting to change the display font. GTK itself has no problems displaying Chinese.

Try picking a Chinese font or a unicode font and see if things change.

Sorry, that was meant to be 'LC_ALL=C ls -b' - I want to see the numbers, mangled name isn't really helpful.

Though if you could also paste how the name should look like, it would make things faster.

OK, your problem is something different than what you think.

That file was created in gbk/gb18030 encoding, you need something like convmv to rename it into utf8.

well, that does not seem to be the prob:

Code:
convmv -f iso-8859-7 -t utf8 -r --notest --replace /home/jan/STUFF/O-R
Skipping, already UTF-8: /home/user/STUFF/O-R/IT×ʲú¹ÜÀíÖƶÈ.pdf
Ready!


:?:

cheers!

1. that encoding autodetection often gives wrong results
2. last time I checked iso-8859-7!=gb18030

sorry, i seem kinda lost here -
which would be the correct parameters?

Code:
onvmv -f gb18030 -t utf8 -r --notest --replace /home/jan/STUFF/O-R
wrong/unknown "from" encoding!


thanks again!

Seems that the list of convmv is shorter than glibc's.
Go with gbk and use '--nosmart'.
