I tried tinkering with the settings for Calibre's reader, trying different fonts, but nothing seems to change this behavior. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Or is this a limitation with Calibre's reader?
In the reader (on a book that shows wrong)
Right click: Inspect

What is the encoding shown on the first line?
