You are probably way ahead of me on this as well but what I found (with the help from Ed Greshko and Lucia) is: The mount command to fix this will be something like: # mount -o codepage=1225,iocharset=iso8859-8,utf8 -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/myphonepictures # Has a very nice section on "The language selection parameters": http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountFATFileSystems # Mention of the following: charset=iso-8859-8 Hebrew Alphabet (ISO) charset=windows-1255 Hebrew Alphabet (Windows) # Found at (other Hebrew sets mentioned): http://a4esl.org/c/charset.html # Wikipedia on Windows 1225 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1255 # Wikipedia on iso-8859-8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859-8 # Basic info on iso-8859-8 and iso-8859-8-I http://www.fileformat.info/info/charset/ISO-8859-8/index.htm http://www.fileformat.info/info/charset/ISO-8859-8-BIDI/index.htm I do hope this proves useful!
