Can you read greek ebooks normally (I mean even those books bought from e-bookstores) or is it just those pdfs that are scanned documents and the reader perceives as images? |

Welcome to the forum, gthalas.
You can certainly read greek text-based pdfs on a sony, though it might not look pretty when you use reflow. If you have an epub without embedded fonts, as long as it is not drmed, you can either embed a greek font like in my example above (you can use sigil for that), or, if you want to do it for more ebooks, you can place a greek font inside your reader and just alter the css to link to this font. Here is an example of how to do it: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=102146 More work than it should be, certainly. Ideally you should just place an ebook into your reader, and start reading, instead of all this tinkering... There are readers that can do that of course, and it's one of them I will be buying next. |

My diacritical problem is not with Greek, but Pali.
Kaṅkhā-vitaraṇī-purāṇa-ṭīkā and the Kaṅkhā-vitaraṇī-abhinava-ṭīkā Often, the foreign characters and accented ones come out as ersatz math symbols. I use Sigil and posted a question about this there. I'm told if I "... ensure that you are including the encoding declaration [UTF-8] (in XML) and in the XHTML <meta> element," all will be well. I do not know how to do this correctly. Any and all advice is appreciated. - Fabe |

The XML declaration is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, which you put at the very top of every XML/XHTML file.
The encoding declaration is <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />, which goes inside the <head> of every XHTML doc (I generally skip this if I've already got the XML declaration in, but it can't hurt to add it in). Hope this helps. |

While we are discussing font character display has anyone got a handle on why different files all using identical styles in both cs4 and the CSS have various characters rendering differently. Ie. " ' bullets, en and em dashes. Fine in one chapter, not in the next. It's got me beat and I just edit them out but with 17 more books to go I'd sure like to find the right switch to turn them on and off.
