PDB and Central European encoding problem

karel1111 · 05-13-2013, 02:53 PM

Hello

I have PDB books in Czech with Central European (WIN-1250) encoding.
When I open the PDB files in the Calibre viewer, some characters with diacritics are missing.

How can I force the viewer to use the Central European encoding?

Thanks Karel

You cant. Instead convert the book to epub explicitly using the cp1250 encoding in the conversion settings and view the epub (the viewr does an automatic partial conversion in the background anyway).
