So the EZ Reader arrived (yay!), and I've been loading it up ever since. One thing I haven't been able to do, though, is get it to display Russian text.

Here's what I did:
Downloaded a text from lib.ru, and saved it in rtf format. Verified that I can read it (in a web browser, and in TextEdit), and that the font is Times New Roman.

Loaded Times New Roman onto the EZ Reader SD card and changed fonts to it (what genius made a sans serif font the default?!).

Tried to load the text, and saw nothing but squiggles (not question marks, looks like random punctuation with the occasional letter.

Looked at it again on the computer, and verified that it's fine there.

What did I leave out or do wrong in that series of steps? Or what are the steps that someone here has taken to successfully display Russain text on the EZ Reader?

Thanks!
