Hi
Just got myself the new Kindle 3, tried some odt to mobi conversion with calibre and all went fine.

I'm trying to convert Hebrew text to Mobi format and had 2 problems

1. direction - Hebrew is RTL and not LTR and though text alignment is correct, text direction is not.
2. Fonts - viewing the mobi on my Ubuntu shows the Hebrew fonts correctly, but on the kindle3 I get question marks in squares instead of Hebrew font.

I've tried to solve problem 1 with custom style: body{direction:rtl;} - did not work, calibre ignored it

I've tried to play with the fonts on the conversion settings screen, but yet - no success.

Help please?
