Problem with Calibre

Hi,
I got a problem with my Nook STR, last time when I used the old version of Calibre to convert .prc to .epub, I use extra css :
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidFont", serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///system/fonts/DroidSerif-Regular.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidFont", serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///system/fonts/DroidSerif-Bold.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidFont", serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///system/fonts/DroidSerif-Italic.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidFont", serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///system/fonts/DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf);
}
body {
margin-right: 8pt;
font-family: 'DroidFont', serif;
}


And I can read Vietnamese on my Nook, but now when I upgrade Calibre to 0.8.36, I do the same input some CSS - but I can not read Vietnamese on my Nook, the font is error it has some strange character likes : ? ...

Anyone can help me? My Nook still can read the old eBooks that I converted last time in Vietnamese. So my Nook is no problem (I guess), all the problem is the conversion in Calibre.

Thanks in advance

Best and easiest thing to do is revert back to previous version. I have the last five or six versions stored in my downloads folder in case I have problems. I don't do the css stuff like you do, not experienced enough. Just convert books to epub for my Kobo wifi.
Quite several versions ago was quite suitable for my needs. I don't need all the advanced features.
The program as it stands is excellent and I think Kovid is an absolute genius.

Yeah, sometimes the upgrades has cons along with the improved features. If a version is working for me, I stick with it for a bit.

Not that it helps with your issue, but yes, sometimes things break. The last version I was getting some epub decoding errors and the only way to fix them were to convert epub->epub and it worked, not that it was something I wanted to do. The latest version fixed the issue (one of the bugs they were fixing).

Only time I have had anything break from an update though.
