Text unreadable: utf-8 problem?

Hi, I have searched the forum but did not find anything resembling my problem. I have Stanza installed on ipod which works just fine (thanks developers!) and on my MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5 (Stanza version 1.0.0-beta18 build #1:413). But the same books which reads OK on iPod when opened on Mac show unreadable text characters, style !Z?g!7rò??àÕ??ߟ²ÂÚðŽɳ‰£ I have unzipped *.epub file and looked into part1.xhtml file.

Stanza Book Restore Tool

Thanks for the Stanza Book Restore Toolhttp://www.lexcycle.com/content/stanza-book-restore-tool.

My comments:
* This is really helpful!

* Unicode in titles causes problems (e.g. Arsène Lupin turns into Arsマne Lupin though it displays correctly in iPhone Stanza)

* Not all books are found. I suspect that some of the "duplicates" are spurious. (Seems like about 40 books are missing, 39 found. Does iPhone Stanza list the number of books somewhere?)

Trouble with non-ASCII characters

I used Stanza Desktop to open a PDF and transfer it to my iPhone. On both the desktop and iPhone display, certain characters are missing. These appear to be non-ASCII characters such as quotation marks and fl/ff ligatures.
