Hi, there,

I'm creating an epub 2. Source file was InDesign, I've exported as html as usual, tuned the code, applied my regular css I've used on other books of the same collection and finished the book with Sigil.

In my e-books, I set the hyphenation of regular paragraphs in "auto", like this:

p {
hyphens: auto;
}

And I set it to "none" on the elements I don't want to hyphenate

However, this time hyphenation is not working as usual and that's driving me nuts. The EPUB is exactly as the other ones I've made before, but, this time, on the Sigil (and also Dreamweaver) previsualization of the html file I'm getting a square character instead of the hyphen:

And when I open the EPUB on Apple iBooks and Adobe Digital Editions, hyphenation is not working at all on regular <p>, as if it was set to "none".

Any idea why this may be happening?

I hope someone can help me!
Thanks!
