[mount] FAT: codepage cp1252 not found

Hello

When I mount an usb memory (FAT32), accents (special non-english characters) are incorrectly read by the system (bad display when listing files for example). mount uses "cp850" for FAT32. For western european microsoft codepage (cp1252), I try to use :

mount /mnt/cle -o codepage=1252

And I get :

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

And with dmesg | tail :

FAT: codepage cp1252 not found

How to read my FAT32 drives (same problem with a FAT32 Windows disk) ?
