Calibre Conversions - Garbled text?

I'm trying to convert a pdf to <anything> for my nook. Leaving it native, the font is simply too small to read. But, the conversion makes all the text garbled. Here is a simple of the beginning of the index.html from the input filter.

Code:
<!-- created by calibre's pdftohtml -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Modern_Algebra_Entire_eBook.pdf</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<META name="generator" content="pdftohtml 0.36">
<META name="author" content="codemonkey">
<META name="date" content="2010-05-11T00:18:16+00:00">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#A0A0A0" vlink="blue" link="blue">
<A name=1></a><IMG src="index-1_1.jpg"><br>
<hr>
<A name=2></a>0RGHUQ&nbsp;$OJHEUD<br>
$Q&nbsp;,QWURGXFWLRQ<br>
)LIWK&nbsp;(GLWLRQ<br>
-RKQ&nbsp;5^Q&nbsp;'XUELQ<br>
7KH&nbsp;8QLYHUVLW\&nbsp;RI&nbsp;7H[DV&nbsp;DW&nbsp;$XVWLQ<br>
-RKQ&nbsp;:LOH\<br>
6RQV^O&nbsp;,QF^Q<br>
<hr>
<A name=3></a>$VVRFLDWH&nbsp;3XEOLVKHU<br>
/DXULH&nbsp;5RVDWRQH<br>
3URJUDP&nbsp;$VVLVWDQW<br>
Both calibre and stanza garble the text when viewing too.

Finally, I should note that this used to be a drm protected document. I "printed" it to ps, then ran ps2pdf on it to generate the pdf. (I'm not stealing -- it's a school book that I would prefer to have on my nook, than on my laptop)

Any ideas?
