Character Encoding

[anr1963]

My desktop is a 64-bit machine running Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. All text is encoded as UTF-8. When I copy files onto an SD card for the GP2X I find various characters are greeked, which makes reading a bit problematic. I can use iconv to switch to a new encoding, but I need to know what encoding to use for the GP2x.

Anyone know what I should use ?

Excuse the self advertising but you might want to take a look at GReader2X, it handles UTF-8 text fine.

It depends what character set you select in the Settings/System menu - mine is set to ISO-8859-1

Fine, but it seems to cut out blank lines between paragraphs/
