The '?' in the .imp can result from two situations:
1) Html code that is known and recognized, but the EBW 1150 embedded font doesn't support, i.e. "& frac12;" or "& #189;" which should display "½" (remove the space after & to get the true Html code!). Many Greek letters fall into this category. You can't do much here except find some work-around like using "1/2" instead of "½".
2) Actual ASCII character (i.e. "©") used instead of the known and displayable Html code (i.e. "& copy;" or "& #169;"). Usually can be fixed by running your .html through Tidy.exe or TidyGUI.exe. However, this may sometimes introduce "other" problems so do this on a backup copy first. If you notice which ASCII characters get converted, you can then do a simple search & replace on your original file if you don't want to use the "tidy'ed" file.
These '?' are inherent problems when converting to .imp, but can usually be overcome by using Html codes instead of literal ASCII character representations. See our wiki pages on
Character Sets, in particular
ISO-8859-1 and
Special characters.
My 2 cents worth... (Ya, you got a discounted rate, since the going rate for imp services are way more!
)
