Cyrillic in Nautilus
Well. Again.

I have followed all the instructions in the Russian localization HOWTO and I am able to type in Russian and read it correctly in most programs such as Firefox, email and so on. However in the Nautilus file viewer, I get only ________ marks. I've seen some packages for Russian language support, but the thing is, I don't want to translate my entire OS to Russian, I just want to be able to display filenames written in Russian correctly.

PS. and i don't want to use KDE. ))

I guess the font you have configured GTK to use for file names etc does not have the Cyrillic component of the character set. You will probably want a Unicode font and check that it has the Cyrillic space. (Further assuming that your filenames are in Unicode, not in some random legacy Russian encoding.)

Maybe the OP expects transliteration - files with English character names get the correct Russian characters instead. Using a different locale setting and font encoding will not correct that problem, AFAIK. Extended fonts use different character set spaces as era noted. They do not overlap this way.

era Now i'm using UTF-8 but russian files are maybe KOI8-R or even CP1251.
i have instal many cyrillical libs. some times they (files) look like ????? or ____ ))

jim mcnamara no i don't thik so.

I can do it when i choose Russian language in gdm and set russian locale. But Gnome will be in russian language and i don't need this.

I'am using FreeBSD7 Stable + Gnome 2.20.1

There are several layers here so it's icky to troubleshoot. If you could show the raw file names we'd have something to go on. Do you get them displayed correctly at the terminal prompt with ls? If not, does it help if you pass them through iconv? I'd suggest you rename them to UTF8 (or mount the file system with some suitable file name charset option, if you can).

Code:
ls -l | iconf -f koi8r  # or -f cp1251

No i can't see them at the terminal and at the file manager. And iconv doesn't help me. What exactly files do you need? Well here some files.
