It has the same behaviour as when I had set the locale to el_GR.UTF-8, BEFORE I install language-pack-el as Colin suggested.
The weird characters and the non accented characters to QT Apps as I wrote on a post above.

No, the same common for me problem that it is fixed when you umount/mount the ntfs disc.

Could you please explain me the output of "locale -a"?
I am trying to troubleshoot a thing that I cannot totally understand :(
What I have understood until now, is that to have properly read/write support with the ntfs-3g for other languages except English, you have to set the locale before the partition will be mounted.
The problem existed for everyone because the locale was set too late so by doing a umount/mount after the locale was set the problem was fixing.
After the "export LANG" line added to the /etc/init.d/mountall.sh file, the problem has been fixed for everyone except me....

cyber@Aurora:/media/Storage$ locale -a
C
el_CY.utf8
el_GR.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX

What is the "C" that you also mentioned in your previous post?
What is the"POSIX" line?
And what are the other lines? I think that the other lines are the available locales on my system. Right?
But how I was able to write Greek characters before I install the language-pack-el?
Before I install that package to my system, the output of the "locale -a" didn`t include the el_GR.UTF-8 and el_CY.UTF-8 lines.
That leads me to understand, that this packege installed the el_GR.UTF-8 locale to my system.

Thanks.
