That's a current limitation that you are up against! It recognizes the glyph, but doesn't render (support) it. Making images to replace common unsupported glyphs is a practical solution; just search and replace
Code:
"& # 601"
with
<img src="601image.gif" align="absbottom">

Question 1 : is there some way (other than making images...) to get this stupid thing to display the proper glyphs ? (if not, maybe i will make images, but it's not a really good solution especially since i fear there will be dozens or even hundreds of them)

I think this is your only choice. Just make ONE image for each unsupported legal gylph and search and replace as indicated above. For say a hundred "& # 601" you will only need one 601 image!

Question 2 : is this a problem which is known, like the UTF-8 problem ? is there an easy solution to it ??

Usually 'Tidy' used by 'LIT2SB' handles the conversions quite well, but I had it fail miserably recently for a
test case of converting Esperanto. Maybe your html is similar.
p.s. I also got terrible results from Tidy when from converting UTF-8 (
see post#44 here), however, I think your situation is different.
EDIT: I will get you started with some sample character images in the attached .zip!
