Why did I get gibberish fonts?
I bought two ebooks a few minutes ago and they are in EPUB format. I downloaded and opened them using Adobe Digital Editions. Next, I launched Calibre (version 0.8.63) and de-drmed them using Alf's tools (version 5.1). When I opened the de-drmed ebooks in Calibre, some of the pages contained gibberish fonts.

However if I opened these de-drmed ebooks in Adobe Digital Editions, I don't have any gibberish fonts in them.

Could someone show me how to produce perfectly de-drmed ebooks without gibberish fonts?

Discussion of DRM, from what I've read is taboo and not really encouraged because of the legality of it if I'm right?

It is Taboo because the Board owner says so

It does not matter what his reasons are, He said NO discussion on removing that unnamed stuff.
