Book displays some gibberish fonts in Calibre
I opened an ebook (in ePub format) using the latest version of Calibre and some gibberish fonts appeared in some pages.
Any workarounds? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Did the book pass Flightcrew or EPUBcheck? Was some odd font called for with no alternate available. (please don't post a copyrighted book here) Although a screen shot of a sample gibberish page should be OK. |

Sample page containing gibberish fonts
 Notice that â appears where inverted commas " or apostrophe ' is used. The correct texts should read as follows: "Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad." NEAL STEPHENSON, SNOW CRASH "To suffer and learn a lesson, one pays a high price, but a fool can't learn any other way." --TRADITIONAL CHINESE PROVERB |

Change the codepage in the Conversion screen for THE BOOK, Not in Preferences My WAG is try Uni-code for this one (appears to be 2 bytes per char) |
