Hi

I received my Nook last night and I was in for a terrible surprise when I found out that if won't display eastern European (Czech and Slovak) diacritic.

It does seem to show some characters like ž, ú or á but instead of ř, ě or č it just shows a question mark.

Please someone tell me there is a way to fix this !

I know that PDF files can have fonts embeded and those are OK but I really want to use epub. Should I maybe use different encoding ? Is there a way to embed font in epub ? What are the chances of someone replacing the font in a rooted Nook ?

Please help, I got tons of Czech and Slovak books I want to read.

thanks a lot !
