Any thoughts?

I've tried unicode, tried saving as webpage.

The weird thing is that I've done it before and it worked well. I have some Ancient Greek texts within my Kindle. They work perfectly. There was something I did to make them work I don't remember what was.

Perhaps you know.
Did you embed a suitable Greek font, so that the device can recognize the characters? Unicode is all well and good, but it's useless if the letter forms are outside of the range of the Unicode on the device.

So..font?
