Hi,

I'm wrestling to convert some really nasty German language PDFs with umlauts äöüÄÖÜß - they contain several different encodings, I've seen the 'ü' converted in one file to four different wrong glyphs but never right...

The bulk of the documents seem to be encoded in MacRoman (code page 10000? see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_Roman ), but this is not selectable in Calibre's Preferences.

Is there a way to select Input Encoding MacRoman, or could it be added to Calibre?

Thanks, Hans
