[Old Thread] accent letters in spanish

Hi, I'm converting an html to mobi to read on mi kindle 2, everything show fine except the accented letter. All the accents are removed.

If I see the html in the browser show all the accents. After converting in calibre, in the internal viewer show the accents, but in the kindle all the accents not show, juste the letters, even happens with the letter ñ

Any suggestions

Presumably, your Kindle doesn't have support for unicode characters.

Some versions of LIT and MOBI parsers in PAPYRE do not have support for characters over character number 128 so áéíóú and ñ and ¿ (and uppercase) are not supported. Probably is the same problem.

"The east-european accented characters are not displayed properly in Adobe based parsers (used in most eInk based readers) unless the font is not embedded in the epub. Unless Adobe does not change its parser, along with the ones in the devices, it would be nice to have the font embeddig possibility."

Found this comment related to a SIGIL enhacement request: adding the posibility of embedding fonts in ePUB CSS styles because of the former.

Try a document with a "System" font such as ARIAL, TIMES NEW ROMAN, etc..

and another one with an "exotic" font to see what happens.

UTF-8

But I found that was my workflow from pdf to mobi, I use textmate to paste the text and multimarkdown to format, later transform to html and load with calibre.

For some reason some text I pasted to textmate the accent letters get screw

Thanks for your help

I have a question. How the files in the Calibre library do not accept the accents and the "eñe"? How a file named "El Niño", for example, Calibre named the file "El Nino"? Thanks.
