thanks - the font seems comprehensive. I suspect code tables & books that have been through multiple conversions are what is problematic here

e.g. it seems that ğ is available in the Sony font but when I sent the text cited above to reader it did not display correctly, neither did ş

I can actually reproduce the same issues entirely on PC by viewing books in ADE ( which is the engine that sony uses )

so this in ADE:
IT IS THE colour of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the ...

becomes
IT IS THE colour of a bleached skull, his flesh? and the ...

maybe I need a way of converting characters back to code, or of displaying hidden codes/characters in order to understand what is going on

; and ; look the same here but the first one, in ADE, appears as ?, the 2nd one typed from my keyboard appears correct. if I manouver that text into notepad++ & view as ANSI, I see
flesh;

so it is the ; that Sony/ADE can't interpret.

I still can't see how PC ( chrome in this instance) knows that is should display ; as ;
