This is what I have to display files correctly in utf-8, and it works

/dev/sda1   /mnt/winxp-c ntfs  
ro,noatime,uid=root,gid=disk,dmask=0227,fmask=0337,nls=utf8,case_sensitive=false
0 0


Perhaps your encoding is set wrong.  FAT file-system are stored in
Shift_JIS (if I remember correctly) so if they work your Locale is
probably not set to UTF-8.  Anyway you would be better to access them
over the network (CIFS) because that will give you full read/write access.
