Footnote encoding problem in kepub.epub
Hi,
I noticed that an ebook I made a few months ago had some problem displaying the utf-8 characters in the popup footnote. In this test kepub.epub, the following line is clickable, and a footnote appears with the exact same text. Code:
"French accents: ê, Â; È; Chinese: 乾;" Code:
French accents: ê, Â; È; Chinese: 乾; Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"> <head> <title>Test popup footnote encoding</title> </head> <body> <header> <h1>Test</h1> </header> <p><b>Click on the paragraph below:</b> the exact same line should appear as a footnote.</p> <p><br /> <a epub:type="noteref" href="#n1" title="French accents: ê, Â; È; Chinese: 乾;">French accents: ê, Â; È; Chinese: 乾;</a> </p> <section epub:type="rearnotes" style="display:none"> <aside class="hidden" epub:type="footnote" id="n1">French accents: ê, Â; È; Chinese: 乾;</aside> </section> </body> </html> Regards François |

Hi
@tshering: Thank you for your answer and for your test. It's very kind. And many thanks for the diagnosis: I will just have to downgrade to 2.8 to check when the "bug" or the change in the specs of ACCESS started. Regards François |

3.x seems to have "broke" popup footnotes on sideloaded kepubs. I'm starting to think that Kobo really is actively making the good options no work on sideloaded kepubs. On the positive side, it seems much faster jumping to the footnote page.

Hi,
I notified FNAC, the Kobo seller in France of this problem (through their press service which is the only email available on their website). They might be interested in the fact that this version of the firmware has a problem for french accents. Regards François |
