Special characters problem

Hi, I'm trying to read an epub on my Kobo but some special characters show as boxes. I have loaded other fonts that should work but without success.

Since it's a text file I converted in Calibre I suspected a conversion problem but the epub is perfectly readable in Calibre.

What can I do?

Have you tried a font with many unicode characters, like CharisSIL? If you did, why don't you post some bits of your html with the characters that don't show?

Never mind, I updated the firmware and now it works.
