problem with umlauts together with ext3

J

Hello together,

this is my first post and straight off a question ;)

I mount my ext3 partition with:

Code: 
mount -o ro -t ext2fs /dev/ad20s1 /mnt/tmp/

Everything is working like it should, expect the German umlauts are messed up.

Does someone know a solution for this problem?

Thanks a lot.
 
Yes, that was the problem.
After changing freebsd to unicode, everything seems to work.
Thank you very much.

But why the hell is freebsd not using utf-8 as default?
 
Well, I can't give you an answer to that question, but I suppose it's because there are still components in FreeBSD that aren't Unicode capable. One example would be syscons.

Apart from that probably most users are fine with a non-Unicode system. Having full Unicode support everywhere would be nice though.
