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.
@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).
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.
