Have you done the firmware upgrade?

I do have a question, which is: how do I get the reader to display Central European characters correctly? Characters like Ć/ć, Č/č, Đ/đ, Š/š and Ž/ž. Mine is a South Slavic language, and I have a lot of notes taken in class which I'd like to transfer to my reader. The ones I've already transferred don't display properly. Is it a question of finding a correct font, or is it something else?

(BTW, it's become clear to me that 6" is really not sufficient for an academic reader; my ppt files display fine, but they're tiny. Same with doc files. Everyone praises epubs, but the default and first zoom size is too small and the second seems too large. I might have to read up on preparing epub files, but I'm pressed for time as it is.)
Dear citac:

I cannot help on the characters myself and will hope somebody else chimes in. I do know that the December Firmware Upgrade can still be found at: www.astak.com and that changed the standard EPUB font sizes from the initial three, to five, and then to seven!! So, I think if you do the December Firmware Upgrade you will not find that huge jump between font size 1 and font size 2 is past history when talking about EPUB!!
