Set NTFS (fuseblk) external media to mount with UTF-8 filesystem

[Dotan Cohen]

Kubuntu 10.10 nicely mounts vfat external media as UTF-8, see for
example my disk-on-key:
/dev/sdd1 on /media/DOTANCOHEN type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1002,gid=1002,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec)

However, NTFS external media is not UTF-8, and it is giving this user
a hassle as her native language cannot be represented in ASCII:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/Expansion Drive type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)

How does one configure the mounting of such external media? There is
little sense in editing fstab as there could be any arbitrary device
attached to the system which needs this. So how is it done?

Thanks!
