In desperation I navigated to the Look and Feel section of the conversion dialogue for that specific file and strangely enough, even though I had set the default in the Preferences, here they were set to the transliterate mode, so I unchecked that and voila! it worked!
Thanks you for pointing me in the right direction, but I am still puzzled by the fact that although the general preference is set one way, the individual conversion is set a different way for preferences.
Bottom line is that it worked!   |
Once converted, the settings are THEN stored with the books metadata.
In the conversion Dialog, Use the Restore defaults tick/button to cause the previous usage setting to be forgotten (rereads the current Preference)
