Encoding of the text

Is there a way to change the character encoding of an Ebook within Stanza ?
I have lots of books (and simple documents) that are barely readable because of strange symbols appearing in the text. And they only appear using Stanza.
Most of the files open well in TextEdit (.rtf) or Preview (.pdf) but are screwed up in Stanza. It happens a lot with french texts (with é,è,ç for example) but also in english texts for example when there is this character "…" instead of three "."
That's the only problem I have with the great application that Stanza is and I hope I'll have soon an answer to my problem.

Try converting using Calibre,

Try converting using Calibre, instead of the desktop Stanza. Calibre has a more full-featured conversion set.
