I'm trying to convert an RTF to EPUB using Calibre version 0.5.8, and I keep getting an error message. Any ideas? I've opened the file in Notepad -- it's definitely nothing but RTF.

Job: **Convert book: Test**
**tuple**: ('InvalidRtfException', u"'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 51: ordinal not in range(128)Invalid RTF: File not ascii encoded.\n")
**Traceback**:
