  i think a related issue was supposed to be corrected by @hgy29 here:
  https://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/63226#Comment_63226
  while it's written there that it is corrected, now it seems to have issues (again?).
  
  now thinking about it that was an issue with lfs and now lfs seems to work fine, just the filename/path i get cannot be used in Texture.new. also it seems that io.open has the same issues with accented characters.

  let me add that some languages are not supported as well in Texture.new (I think it was russian?, cyrillic?)

  I think it is a windows specific issue, it should work ok on Linux/Mac. Windows use CP-1252 (or whataver they call ANSI) while Gideros treats file names as UTF-8, so on windows the UTF-8 string should be converted to CP-1252 before opening files. Or we should switch to WCHAR on windows specifically in gideros gvfs module.

  "the UTF-8 string should be converted to CP-1252"
  is there a way to do this with current gideros?

  Yes, you should be able to do that on lua, you can use utf8 functions to transform your utf8 path into chars (code points), then use a table to encode them into a string using cp1252 mapping

  that switching you mentioned would be probably most comfortable. alternatively there could be some conversion as a plugin, like https://github.com/ittner/lua-iconv
