The problem is that despite embedding a font in the epub he posted the characters still don't show up, even though the font is being used. The plugin's output is mangled in some way that is confusing ADE.

Given that the plugin is also messing up some other things (there's no ncx file and the opf is missing required metadata entries) I don't think it's worth using.
Hi again and thanks again for all the advice. I have again tried using Sigil. Again the result looks fine in Sigil or FBReader but I still get ??? marks in ADE. Maybe it is something to do with the embedded fonts. Do I need to do something in Sigil before creating and saving the file? The truth is I am rapidly losing interest in the epub idea.
