v4 v5 15 15 ---- 16 16 17 When creating an ISO image with Joliet extensions (for long file names on MS Windows) , it is necessary to specify the correct input filename character set with the -input-charset (or, equivalently, -jcharset) option. The character set name passed after this switch must match the output of "locale charmap". A mismatch results in completely wrong characters non-ASCIIin the filenames under MS Windows.17 When creating an ISO image with Joliet extensions (for long file names on MS Windows) using unpatched mkisofs, it is necessary to specify the input filename character set with the -input-charset (or, equivalently, -jcharset) option, unless it is ISO-8859-1 (the default). The character set name passed after this switch must match the output of "locale charmap". A mismatch results in completely wrong non-ASCII characters in the filenames under MS Windows. 18 18 19 19 Problem 1: unpatched mkisofs accepts only character sets listed in the "mkisofs -input-charset help" output, and UTF-8 is not in the list. 20 20 21 Problem 2: some GUI frontends don't know that this option has to be passed, and don't allow a user to add it at all. 22 23 Both problems can be solved with [http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/attachment/wiki/Cdrtools/cdrtools-2.01-mkisofs_iconv-10.patch?format=raw this patch]. It does the following: 24 25 * Makes mkisofs accept any character set supported by iconv as the input character set 26 * Changes the default input character set to the character set implied by the current locale 27 28 The net effect is that creation of ISO images with Joliet extensions becomes possible in any locale, and the -input-charset switch becomes needed only in very exceptional situations. 29 30 IMPORTANT: never report problems with charset set support directly to Joerg Schilling! 21 31 22 32 [wiki:CDWritingUtilities Up][[br]]
