Hi jimmytom
Welcome to the kennels
It is just removable drives or all filer windows?
you could try changing the gtk+ font...
go to-
PuppyMenu > Desktop > Desktop Setting > JWM configuration
then select desktop tab, and click GTK+ theme followed by Font
select your font
click Okay, Okay and restart JWM.

You'll probably need a Unicode-compatible font installed, at least. (I don't know if you can change codepage/location in Puppy 5, but that may not be necessary... we'll see.)
If you have a Windows system, copy the file arialuni.ttf from Windows' fonts directory to the font directory on your Puppy 5 system. And, to be on the safe side, restart the X server. Do the filenames show properly?
Alternately, you can find other Unicode TTFs on the net (a number of which aren't commercial like Microsoft's arialuni, and can be downloaded freely), but I don't have any examples handy.

Hi JimmyTom
With Puppy anything is possible ; -)
Puppy Lucid also has file
/usr/local/bin/all_drive
open in geany and search for "mount -t vfat"
in Polarpup 005 its on line 377
Maybe system variable NLS_PARAM is supposed to be set to iocharset=utf8 ???
or you could just add it in,

I don't think getting more fonts will help-aarf wrote:at a guess you need to copy the thai fonts out of the computer that created the files into puppy font folder. else look on the web or even this forum for more thai fonts
the problem as I understand it is,
ext2 format partitions display thai font correctly, but
vfat format partitions display incorrectly ?
just re-read this, now it sounds like the problem could be how the files themselves are named.jimmytom wrote:Dear Flash

When i copy <readable - thai - font > file from
/mnt/sda 5 to /mnt/sdb1 , it show <readable - thai - font > file.
When i insert other removable device. /mnt/sdc1 show ???.doc , ????.pdf.
can you tell us what format sda5 and sdb1 partitions are in ?
If after you have copied the files, when you reboot do the names stay the same - or are all on sda5 <readable thai> and all on sda1 <???> ?
darkcity this one says that the fonts are being read correctly. . although i do agree that partition format does cause problems of this naturejimmytom wrote:Dear Flash

edit: just read previous post
new fonts could be obtained from any computer that can read the file titles,assuming windows hasnt messed with its font arrangement since i last looked long ago.
Thank you everybody.
Progress note....
I installed thai fonts from
ftp://linux.thai.net/pub/ThaiLinux/software/thai-ttf/
then add all to puppy folder.
Restart X.
: I can read thai- name files in all drives.
Thanks very much for all suggestions.
See you again.
