Czech characters not being displayed - ANSI encoding

[gulo]

Hello

I am having problem with displaying ebooks in Czech language. All special czech characters are being displayed incorrectly. It is clearly a problem with wrong character coding settings but I cannot see any option to change it.

I tried another software called Haali Reader which offers the option to change encoding to "ANSI - Central Europe" which displays everything correctly.

I am attaching a screenshot showing the difference between the two. Could anyone please help me out and tell me if there is a way to fix this in Calibre ? Thanks a lot !

Looks like I actually found a solution, although indirect.

Turns out that the program Stanza will open czech .pdb file properly while retaining all the characters. Once I load them up there is an option to export them as .epub file. After importing those into Calibre everything works great, so it's just an extra step I must take for each book.

How nice to have eBooks of Jaroslav Foglar's books. Could you tell me where you found them?
Thanks,
George

A UTF-8 txt file only shows common accented letters on my Kobo Touch. but rtf shows others OK.
With Turkish or Vietnamese 1 may need to chose a different fount, do not know about Czech.
