I've had a little difficulty getting the Sony PRS-650 with the Times font family to correctly display the itilde character (ĩ) - it substitues a '?' instead.
However the Calibre reader does display it correctly, by the using the HTML tag
Quote:
|
<span><span class="calibre31">ĩ</span></span>
|
and the CSS style
Quote:
.calibre31 {
font-family: Charis
}
|
So rather than try to get a copy of the Charis font and put it on the 650, I tried replacing
Quote:
|
<span><span class="calibre31">ĩ</span></span>
|
by
But that doesn't work! Neither the calibre reader nor HTML groks 'ĩ', but they do grok 'ã'! So I tried using the numeric value for ĩ (which is & 297; but without the space between the & and 2) rather than 'ĩ' after some googling. And that works everywhere (PRS650, Calibre reader, HTML).
So my question is: why is ĩ recognised but 'ĩ' isn't?
