Epub - adding metadata jacket problem...

Hi guys,

I wish I could add a jacket with metadata to some of my epubs using calibre and plugin "LubimyCzytać" (PL), yet no luck so far... Everything looks great on PRS-505: title, author, publisher, tags, etc. but as it goes for so called comments - in other words - book's description - I have "?" marks instead Polish special characters...

It looks like:

"Pocz?tek II wojny ?wiatowej."

While it should look like:

"Początek II wojny światowej".

In the WHOLE epub I have Polish special characters - while doing conversion just for adding metadata did almost everything I guess: dig in css, set embedding fonts, coding is utf-8... No successful... I would be very much obliged for all tips and suggestions...

Thank you,

Witkacy

If your fonts are set using a special CSS class (as opposed to, say, redefining all <p> tags to use said font) it is probable the jacket is not setting the same classes.

The text is then using the the usual font... which doesn't have all the characters.
