I used Calibre to convert it from LIT to ePub. As far as I'm aware I kept the default settings. Calibre displays it correctly. Btw. I run Calibre on Ubuntu 9.10.
On the device turning pages is fast, I doubt fonts are embedded.
I opened up the ePub file (it's a zip. right?) but haven't found fonts in it.
It's a free ebook, I' attached both the original LIT and the converted ePub formats.
Again: the same content get displayed correctly in the history view, but when displaying the content I get question marks instead of the special characters.
