Hi Harry,

I used a UTF-16 encoded source file (saved it to that encoding on a Mac). I uploaded the file to a Windows pc and imported it, using Mobipocket Creator Home Edition v4.2, and built the prc file.

I then placed it on my SD card in the Cybook. I also made sure to have a suitable font on the Cybook (called 'Gentium'). When I opened the book on the Cybook, at first boxes were displayed for various accented characters, but switching to the Gentium font made them all visible.

Groet,
Adelheid
