i'm loading files off an xp box via smb. *i notice that filenames with japanese (unicode) characters in them are truncated at the first non-ascii character. *they don't have an icon (presumably because no extenstion..), and cannot be played.

anybody have experience with unicode filenames? *i saw a thread here talking about korean subtitles (they got junk text, not truncations). *it referenced a site with some font sets ... no japanese that i saw, though.

i notice the filesize is fubar also, which suggests bigger problems than font sets. :q *parsing errors?

seems the problem is unique to the smb interface. using ccxstream, the files are visible and can be played. still would be nice to have a japanese font in order to read, but at least they can be played :)

this looks to be similar to the sf.net bug report located at:

they're probably multi-byte characters which tend to cause issues if the software isn't designed to cope with them.
