Mounting of FAT32 partition doesn't lists filenames and directores with international latin charactares properly

[Invader Zim]

Binary package hint: util-linux

Even with in the present day with a recent (K)ubuntu installation, a fresh clean formatted Lucid Lynx install, an average user cannot use his FAT32 partition if the filenames and directories have international latin characters (accentuations, etc.)

1. Open Dolphin
2. Click on the HD partition with FAT32
3. Directories and filenames with accentuations and other non-english marks are unreadable

Average user can't find out a solution.

Actually the solution is simple, I just copied the fstab entry for /dev/fd0 (which has a utf8 option) for /dev/fat32diskdevice.

But still in this present day, Ubuntu cannot easily detect and correctly configure the mounting for recognizing international latin characters like ã á í ó.

Definately a showstopper for a potential user switching from FAT32 systems to Ubuntu, since the person cannot read correctly his/her files, nor can he/she read the files/directories.
