@Charleski thanks for your hint. Everyday, I learn something new. And when I think how I started - I had absolutely no knowledge about html. And in the beginning, I used the normal notepad that comes with Windows. I still remember, when I changed german umlaus from their html code to the direct character, the search and replace on notepad took like 20 seconds for 4000 replacements. With Notepad ++ it takes like 5 seconds ... I love this program.
Change it in the .html files in the ePub, it should work. Load the original and change to the html code and just put it back, it should display it fine.
