@jackie_w,

Yes, very odd. I have no idea what is going on.
I made a second kepub.epub file and added some Sanskrit text. I am not sure, but I guess non of the built-in fonts has those characters implemented. Whatever font I select, the Sanskrit text of all paragraphes is displayed as Arial Unicode MS. Only if I select Sanskrit 2003, the Sanskrit of the Sanskrit 2003-paragraph is displayed as Sanskrit 2003, all the others again as Arial Unicode MS. I even changed the sequence of the font entries in the css, without any change. Therefore I guess that in the case of not supported characters in a certain font the ereader chooses the first font in alphabetical order that supports these characters. Since you do not have Arial Unicode MS your reader should display all Sanskrit characters as Sanskrit 2003. Right? If you would like to check it, the most significant part is at the beginning of the word शूद्रको.
