Hallo Kanru, could you explain in details the steps?

For example, I have a chinese pdf that I see correctly on the Kindle 3, but I want to convert it into a mobi file...Obviously it shows many "boxes" as discussed.

- When Calibre converts the pdf in mobi, in the directory I can see the metadata.opf file with the <dc:language tag>. But at this point I think it's too late: the conversion already has been done. Am I right?

- If I look into the mobi file (hexadecimal) I can see the 0xFD09 (65001 = UTF-8) locale bytes

- How can I tell Calibre to convert the file using the correct locale as you suggested?
There's a place where I can force it?

Many many thanks!
