The book in question is a mobi book. I can't test it on my computer as I'm using a Mac system. I've tried installing Times New Roman fonts which I transfered from my Mac system, but they have exactly the problem.

Any ideas?
Try Dejavu. That font is quite famous for solving this kind of problem as it has all kinds of special symbols integrated.
