RE: freebsd and utf-8 directory names

thanks, I will do that. 

I started to setup my locale again, and found that earlier I should have made a mistake because the new setup (almost) perfectly works: 

I set up login class for me following the handbook as hungarian (LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, and charset=UTF-8; set keyboard layout to hungarian with setxkbmap hu, and used the hungarian locale in fstab to mount the fat32 partition.).

there are two characters in the Hungarian alphabet which are not in the ISO-Latin1 code set (o with double accent and u with double accent, both lower and upper case) which are displayed as space in filenames, but now libreoffice is able to open the files. All other hungarian characters appeared as normal. 

I will do the test you suggested but it can take 1-2 days, I do not have time for it right now.

Well, I'm going to close that PR. :-)
First, set LANG environment variable to hu_HU.UTF-8 in your case:

# setenv LANG hu_HU.UTF-8

Second, mount the FAT32 partition in Hungarian locale:

# mount_msdosfs -L hu_HU.UTF-8 /dev/da0s1 /mnt

Third, untar your attachement file:

# tar xvf /mnt/files.zip
x 1’.txt
x 2–.txt

# stat 1’.txt
128 244744 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4294967295 0 "Jan  1 08:00:00 1980" "Aug  1 16:57:52 2011" "Aug  1 16:57:52 2011" "Jul  3 11:28:24 2014" 16384 0 0x800 1’.txt

# stat 2–.txt
128 244746 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4294967295 0 "Jan  1 08:00:00 1980" "Aug  1 16:55:20 2011" "Aug  1 16:55:20 2011" "Jul  3 11:28:24 2014" 16384 0 0x800 2–.txt

Let me know if that works for you, thanks.
