The printed cover contains instead of one latin2 char 3-4 other (some cyrill) characters. But I have problems with java too. I tried with 1.4.1 from blackdown and 1.4.2beta from Sun and here are "squares" insted of the expected �� etc. chars. Input of these chars works here too.

Not a bash problem.
Is your filename UTF-8 encoded? If not, then you certaiunly cannot print it when using UTF-8 locale, unless you convert the filename (e.g. using iconv(1) ).
No it is not. I solved the problem by changing the i18n file to: LANG="hu_HU.ISO-8859-2" LC_ALL="hu_HU.ISO-8859-2" SUPPORTED="hu_HU:hu:en_US:en" SYSFONT="lat2-sun16.psfu.gz" And for X I installed: XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2 XFree86-ISO8859-2-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2 packages. And attached these lines to /etc/X11/fs/config: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi, /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi, after these lines: # where to look for fonts # catalogue = /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc, Now everything works, but now I can not add new menu item manually to RedHat menus. But I will try iconv function to convert the files to UTF-8.
It is certainly preferable to convert your filenames and start using UTF-8.
