Hi all!
I have some Russian songs in a folder that named with Russian typing. This folder can be seen on Debian and Windows, but Puppy.
How can I see it on my FossaPup64_CE?
Please and thank you all.

Re: Russian fonts
@nfkhanh Hello!
perhaps @Sofiya can help with changing to a Russian Cyrillic font? I do not have experience with doing this adding these types of fonts

Exactly what do you see? I doubt that this is a font issue because FossaPup64_CE's DejaVuSans font provides full support for the Cyrillic script.
I suspect that this is rather a codepage issue, caused by using extended ASCII instead of Unicode. A screenshot would tell us more.
[Edit] Since there is no "FossaPup64_CE" it could be either FossaPup64 or F96-CE, but in this case it shouldn't make a difference

I have a portable disk. This disk is formated with FAT32. On debian or windows, I can see folder including Rusian songs as screenshot. When I connect this portable disk to puppy, the folder of Russian songs is not shown. Only folder with English typing is shown (Glenn Gould).

Re: How to see Russian fonts in FossaPup?
Is this portable disk partitioned into partitions "Orico200" and "Orico320". I don't know your Debian distro and I don't know Thunar, but these 2 are listed as Devices and your desktop displays what looks like disk icons. The folders appear in Thunar in /media/Orico320 which may not be folders on your device but rather mount points, because that's what /media is commonly used for (though not in Puppy, which prefers the /mnt directory )
So what happens when you use Fossapup (FP64 or F96-CE)? Connecting your device creates a disk icon "Orico320"? What do you see when you click on it? The ROX-Filer should open, showing the 2 folders - assuming that your Russian problem folder is not hidden. Click on the "eye" icon to show hidden files. Other than that I can't think of a scenario where a file manager refuses to display a folder just because it doesn't like the name or the used font.
