Regarding my issues with the missing chars, it turns out that Mobile Creator finds certain "fi" & "fl" pairs & puts in either the Unicode chars themselves (fi & fl) in UTF-8 mode or the ampersand escaped codes if in Window-encoding mode, but (for me) these are dropped by BD, even if the language is pre-set to German.

I ended up editting the raw HTML to search & replace them back - Together with a bit of editing things such as the page breaks, I think I've now got a decent enough copy, including em-dashes & italics, which my first pdf2lrf try dropped. Having said that, it's not quite as pretty as the PDF, as my chapter headers only have the central graphic, not the full effect...

I don't have a copy of Acrobat to hand, (although now I think of it, I did have an very old version in the past,) so unfortunately, I can't compare the result from that.


Worth asking the Tor contact if there's any way we can upload a 'legal' .lrf/html0 format here?
