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

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
