However, I have a problem ith the "running headers" that Mobi2Imp creates (they are one of two reasons, to begin with, why I use Mobi2Imp rather than creating the IMP file from BD, the other being a smaller resulting size for the IMP file):

Mobi2Imp apparently does not accept accented letters, with the result that this header:

Dictionnaire (8e édition - 1932) Académie Française

is replaced by

Dictionnaire (8e ?tion - 1932) Acad?e Fran?se

Is there anything I could do to correct that behaviour?

Thanks, R.
Robert:

It looks like you already got the header working in your French dictionary. The literal accented characters need to be replaced with their html codes for same, i.e.

Dictionnaire - 8e édition - 1932 Académie Française

then properly displays

Dictionnaire - 8e édition - 1932 Académie Française

In future, if you want to create a .imp directly from your .html with running headers, just add these lines:
In <head> ... </head> section:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
 header {display:none; display:oeb-page-head}
</style>
and just after the <body> tag:
Code:
<header>
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left"><small>Dictionnaire - 8e &eacute;dition - 1932</small></td>
<td align="right"><small>Acad&eacute;mie Fran&ccedil;aise</small></td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
</header>
Hope this helps others as well.
