Cool Kobo problems with accents, tildes and apostrophies.

Maybe some settings inside KoboTouch Extended Driver plugin?

I can understand the logic of correcting the errors, but why is it that my side loaded books on my kindle keyboard don't have this problem but the same mobi or e-pub(converted) file side loaded into Kobo Libra 2 gives this problem?
It is even worse with Spanish books which have accents and tildes. I have half of my books in Spanish and I can hardly read them because most lines have accents. But they work fine in Kindle. Is Kobo or e-pubs more delicate or are Kindles more forgiving?
There should be an easier way to fix hundreds of books?
Thanks

After hours of experimenting with all your help but not solving my problem, I decided to try a factory reset, and Wow. Problem solved. Apparently the data base must have been contaminated after so much experimenting, and was doing strange things. As I said, it was not logical for the files to work everywhere else and not on the Kobo.
Well. I learnt something the hard way, and hope this will be of some use to others.
Thanks again for all the help on this forum.

I feel ashamed to admit this, but I feel it might happen to someone else. I was using the "AR UD Jingxihel" font which worked in English, but when in Spanish does not recognize the accents and tildes. There really was no indication that this format was for Chines language until I looked it up on the internet.
Thanks
