Kindle not recognizing Ancient Greek
Hello, please, I'm trying to convert an Ancient Greek text from docx to Kindle. I took the text from Wikisource.
So, I copy it to Word, send to Kindle convert and have it in my device. But Kindle does not recognize words, if I try to select one, it just selects a letter, so I can not check the dictionary. Any thoughts? I've tried unicode, tried saving as webpage. The weird thing is that I've done it before and it worked well. I have some Ancient Greek texts within my Kindle. They work perfectly. There was something I did to make them work I don't remember what was. Perhaps you know. |

Get the AZW from the Kindle and covert to epub and look at the code.
I guess that some letters have been treated as special, and have a span that selects a different font. Often I see that in commercial files and mostly it's unnecessary, the built in fonts are sufficient, at least if you have a modern device, so I strip those out Wikisource should be html, so just save the webpage and import that into Sigil or Calibre rather then entrusting it to Word. |
