Can you check what locales you have installed ?
You need to have the en_US.UTF8 locale installed so that special characters can work correctly:

[Blisk]

LANG="sl_SI.UTF-8"

[PVince81]

Try changing this to "en_US.UTF-8" system-wide and restart your Apache server.
Or at least the web server user need to have "en_US.UTF-8" set.

[Blisk]

OK thank you I will se this to english, that means language in ownclud will change to english?
now it is in my language with this veird fonts?

What about playing video?

[PVince81]

The language of the web UI will not change.
The "en_US.UTF-8" is only for the filesystem file and the internal processing of strings.

The language of ownCloud will stay for every user. The user can choose any language in their personal page.

[Blisk]

I changed in apache to HTTPD_LANG=${HTTPD_LANG-"en_US.UTF8"}
but nothing changes

[PVince81]

Try re-uploading the files.
Maybe the file names are still broken.

[DeepDiver1975]

Just to clarify: we require en_US.UTF-8 to be installed - no need to explicit set it somewhere.

[Blisk]

no, it is the same no changes

[icewind1991]

What's the charset of the database tables?

[Blisk]

utf8_unicode_ci

[Blisk]

I have checked today on server all is like ok, but still I have that strange characters

[Blisk]

OK Finally manage to find what was the problem, not locale or apache or anything, but php.ini have wrong charterset I set that to UTF-8 and now all works great.

[DeepDiver1975]

Oh - great!

@karlitschek maybe we should add a server check for that?

[karlitschek]

yes. definitely.

[Blisk]

I also hope you can manage to made better viewer of shared pictures and videos, somethig like dropbox have. But still owncloud is really great.
