I am reading a news feed from a Chinese news paper

http://realtime.zaobao.com/news.xml

When I choose the LRF as output format, I am able to view the Chinese characters correctly on PRS-505. Only thing is that the titles and links font size is too big. (Same behavior when viewed with calibre internal viewer)

When I choose the EPUB as output format, the calibre internal viewer can view it correctly and the font size is fine.
However, the PRS-505 can not view it properly. All Chinese characters are replaced with '?', and the reader reboots after turning a few pages.

Any idea?
Edit the CSS of the ePub to add in the Chinese font. Then you should be able to read it fine. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36361
