Kovid, thank you for the amazing speed of development - I could not believe you already put out a new release - n.b. with the font embedding...
I wish I could tell you that all is well - I still did not manage to make ONE of the sticky characters appear on my reader. I tried to convert the file you converted for me - no luck, the special characters are not even showing in the libprs500 viewer.
My workaround: I could put in many books by converting
ő to õ
and ű to û in html and then convert it to lrf. It's not pretty but the pages turn well and it's not too disturbing. It does not work on all my files but I have enought to read for the moment.
As for embedding - something must be different about my system from yours and I cannot figure it out...
