Thank you!
Let see if this works, as perhaps some visual idea of them might be nice too.

The special fonts - German, French, Italian, and others cause some headache as I think there are some collision with Asian fonts. I have checked Swedish,Norwegian,German - so far, so if someone could check out French, Italian, or what ever else and report back, this would be nice.

Use a .txt document from project Gutenberg for example. This may be 8859-1, but you can convert a page/document to UTF-8 at several online sites. An example is in post #444 of a Deutsch page - 2 last screenshots is the same book with those two encodings. ( last show that umlauts is working under UTF-8)

Now, this is .txt files which these tests are done. There has to be done some more system modification for pdf,epub,mobi,etc. It also explain a bit about some of the font issues that has appeared lately. There are also some issues here regarding dictionary use, and text-to-speach, etc.

So, this is work in progress...

NOTE: it is possible that my fonts here, is not exact default Amazon. I may have included some Chinese fonts from Duokan too. Sorry, my memory of what I have done is a bit faded.
