However there are several letters that have diacritics (such as circumflexes) and these letters only show up as question marks since presumably the fonts the 1150 uses don't have these special characters.

Does anyone know if it's possible to update the fonts on the 1150 to allow support for these characters?

Thanks!
Generally the eb1150 has good support for special characters. If you look at special characters in the wiki (or on the ETI web site) you will likely find the characters you want in the list. However, the character set methods such as Windows-1252 will not work on this device. Instead you must use the html codes to define the characters you need. Using a binary editor (or even the editor in eBook Publisher) to find and substitute the html codes for the 8-bit codes will likely solve your problem.
