I think I have worked this out. The filenames are in euc-kr and need to be in utf-8. When I use convmv to convert the filenames to utf-8, Desktop FBReader works as it should. I found out about convmv here. This is a Linux utility (actually a perl script). The command I used was:

Code:

convmv -f euc-kr -t utf8 --notest *

where "--notest" should be used only after testing that the conversions are appropriate. Note that convmv (particularly its -r --notest option) might be a brick your iLiad command if you run it in the wrong directory. So the safest approach would be to run it on some other machine under a standard user account and then transfer the files.
