Support of non-european language epub books? #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
All my Chinese epub books are just showing ??????? instead of characters.
Is it possible to have a fix since in the system dirctories the characters
are displayed just fine. Does it mean that the nook already has full
unicode UTF-8 font? If the font problem is resolved, it will add to the
nook vast amount of new book resourses, such as the feed like
books.blah.me/index.atom 

Thanks for the incredible work. It seems the nook is getting more alive
each day!

Sorry hudesigns -- trook itself only starts the stock B&N application that reads
epub, it doesn't itself do any epub formatting.

What's happening, is that the B&N application (an Adobe-reader based 
application)
uses it's own set of fonts, rather than also using the Android fonts. That's why
applications that use the Android fonts have a different behaviour than the B&N 
one.

At the moment, if you're able to embed (or find a tool to embed) fonts into 
your epub
files, that might be the best thing for now. Sorry that I don't have anything 
better
to suggest.
