Also adding some Asian language support (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

Hi, this is good to hear.
I have one issue which I have already reported via e-mail to Bluefire, but wish to raise here also.
I have been reading some physics texts in ePub format, and notice that some of the mathematical symbols do not display correctly - I get the square box with a cross in it symbol (see attached screenshots).
This surprises me, as the character set is UTF-8, which I thought would avoid these issues - I was advised in the response from Bluefire support that:

"Our development team is currently working to include more fonts and symbols in the App, and mathematical symbols are on their list, but there is no set timetable for when they will be released into the App."

I suggest it is a fairly fundamental and urgent requirement for a reader like Bluefire to have, esp. for UTF-8 support. Without this, most books with any level of technical content are effectively unreadable in your App.
Any chance you can check the progress on this and try to increase the priority? Thanks.
