My system uses the ISO-8859-1 encoding. But some folders display names strangely accents.

Which version of thunar are you using? I cannot reproduce that here, but I am not sure setting LC_ALL to ISO-8859 is enough for this. Most desktop systems nowadays use UTF-8, and this should work fine.
Comment 3 Renato Santos 2015-06-29 22:48:41 CEST
I am using version 1.6.10. The error also occurs in the git version too. Running thunar via terminal, I get this error message:

(thunar:14127): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

My locale:

Sorry for the long delay! 

Does this bug still occur for you on current thunar master ?
