Device: iRex 800SG, iPhone 3GS (shelved: iRex iLiad, KindleDX, Adam tablet)
Angry national characters (diacritics) debased in ePub (from Calibre)

I have an eBook in RTF in Czech language (with czech diacritics).
I am trying to read it on my iRex800 (with latest original firmware).
I used Calibre for format conversion to ePub and for ebook upload to device.
So far I didnt manage to produce ePub that would read right on the device.

Is this some kind of known problem with iRex800 ?

I have other Czech ebooks in ePub and they read ok on iRex.

If you care here is more detailed description of different conversion steps I tryed:

1. RTF > converting in Calibre > to ePub - diacritics unreadable

2. RTF > converting in Word > to 'simplified html' - encoding Win-1250
html > auto-converted in Calibre on import > to ZIP(ed html) - encoding changed to UTF-8
ZIP > converted in Calibre > to ePub - encoding ??
- diacritics ok in Calibre reader
- diacritics unreadable on iRex

3B. html > converted to UTF-8 in notepad - based on last post in this tread
rest the same as 2.
- diacritics ok in Calibre reader
- diacritics unreadable on iRex (same as 2.)

Can somebody help ?
Did anybody met the similar problem ?
(Is this a problem of Calibre or iRex ? or ePub ?)

(I'll try to find a way to attach the mentioned ebook files if needed.)
