It's the filenames themselves being coded in the UTF8 or GB2312 character set. You say you've set your system locale to zh_CN.UTF8. This indicates that your filenames must be coded in UTF8 to be shown correctly on your terminal. Try this, in the directory with your files: ls -l | iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8 If you now see your files named in proper Chinese characters, this means that your filenames are coded in GB2312. You simply need to rename these files from GB2312 to UTF8. Probably something like this: ls | while read filename do mv -i "$filename" "`echo \"$filename\" | iconv -f GB2312 -t UTF8`" done

Thanks a lot. You are very right about this problem! Now, Fedora can display Chinese file names properly although the font doesn't look pretty. :-D One more question, when I used Putty to SSH the server, all files named in Chinese couldn't display properly. Is that because of the Putty doesn't support Chinese? If it is the case, which SSH tools do you suggest?

I appreciate any response. I think my questions would be..... 1. Where did the imported files come from? 2. Are you certain that the file names are in UTF8 and not, for example, GB2312? -- Identify your visitor. 葛斯克 愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段 -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

DejaVu sans has nice ch. char. in OpenOffice. I forget whether this started to happen before I upgraded to F13.
