Special Characters in Plucker

I notice that when I'm reading Plucker ebooks on my Palm T|X, some characters do not display properly.

For example, exclamations marks often appear as Euro signs, and Greek characters as codes (#643; etc).

How do I get Plucker to display these files properly?

Thanks

Fix your input and output encoding in whatever distiller you're using.

What do the characters look like in the original HTML? Are they already encoded? Binary? Junk?

I don't know. Usually I download the Plucker file ready-made from Project Gutenberg.

That would be why.

Can you give me an example of a file that includes this kind of issue? PG text ID?

The Plucker file is the first of the five formats listed at the bottom of this page.
