When I look at a USB drive with Hebrew filenames, instead of Hebrew characters I get question marks. The USB drive content is from a Windows machine.
I have Hebrew fonts installed AFAIK and I have a keyboard layout switcher in my Xfce panel tray so I can type in Hebrew. If I open a shell and switch to Hebrew I can create a file with Hebrew characters in the name.
Does anyone know how I can view the Windows Hebrew file names?
I saw somewhere that it may be due to the charset by which I mounted the thumb drive. It was mounted automatically. This is what I see:
[kirk@localhost ~]$ mount
/dev/sdb3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdb5 on /srv type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb6 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdg1 on /media/UDISK type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=winnt,uid=1000)
so I tried this:
[kirk@localhost ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/TEST -o iocharset=utf8
but it didn't help. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Try (as per man mount):
sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/TEST -o utf8

That did it. Thank you very much!
