Hi All,

I scan a hard copy book to MS Word. Then save as "filtered html." Then import to Calibre. When I convert the zip file to ePub, quotation marks, apostrophes (possibly other characters) display as "wingdings" or some such strange font, specifically a black diamond with a question mark.

Any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks!
