Strange behaviour of TOC for one character
I've made several ePub-books in Esperanto. The special characters (ĉ ĝ ĵ ŝ ŭ ...) do not give any problem after import in Calibre. But in one particular book all the ŭ-characters are substituted by a Chinese character. I cannot figure out why. In all my other books the ŭ-characters in the TOC show how it should be.
I've looked to the original toc.ncx file in the ePub over and over again, and I see no difference in comparison to other toc files that behave properly. The problem is visible after I add an ePub book to Calibre, before any conversion to another format. Does someone have an idea where to look? Thanks! |

Make sure toc.ncx is correctly encoded in UTF-8

Yes, I've checked that. It is UTF-8...
And by the way, the TOC shows perfectly in Sigil, EpubReader, Stanza ... but somehow Calibre acts in an other way... Last edited by paulpeer; 03-02-2010 at 04:04 PM. |

Open a ticket and attach the file.

Thank you for having fixed this!
But a similar problem remains with the metadata. In the ePub they are utf-8, but somehow Calibre interprets them otherwise. This is what the metadata shows: <dc:title>El verva vivo ĵurnalista</dc:title> And this is what Calibre shows: El verva vivo 警urnalista Shall I open a ticket for this also? |

The problem is only partionally solved. The TOC is now perfect utf-8 but after convertion from epub to mobi it is wrong again. I have created a ticket.

Stick an encoding declaration in the OPF file and you wont have this problem.
