trouble with diaeresis

Hello,
First of all, let me say that I am so grateful to the creator(s) of Calibre for this means of converting e-books to different formats.
I convert ebook files to txt so that I can read the books in RapidReader. The font I prefer in RapidReader is Times New Roman on a Gateway NV55C laptop running Windows 7, Kindle DRM Removal, Calibre 2.12 and RapidReader 6
I have noticed that the diaeresis, as in "naïve" doesn't get converted properly.
I've tried using the following options in Look And Feel, by themselves in turn, to no avail:
  • Smarten punctuation
  • UnSmarten punctuation
  • Transliterate Unicode characters to ASCII
  • Keep ligatures

At one point I thought I had solved the problem by using "Transliterate Unicode characters to ASCII" but it seems that doesn't appear to have worked after all.

Any help would be appreciated.
