Google Play eBook Reader

Google's eBook reader is not loading my latest book correctly. Mathematical symbols and equations just appear as blank boxes. Any ideas? See image: Cancel the image I am not allowed to post it. Helpful, NOT.

Hi ColinMenniss, and welcome to Android Forums :)

I'm going to move your post to the Android Applications subforum, since you're asking about an app instead of a device-specific issue. It should gain better exposure there. :thumbup:

Is the book one that you purchased from the Play Store? Or did you import it from elsewhere?
 
What version of Android have you got and what make and model is your device. It could be incomplete font support in it by the manufacturer.
 
sometimes a phone lacks proper unicode support. there are books in my Kindle library that put 'amp' in place of the '&' symbol. a bit annoying but not confined strictly to Google Play.
 
What's the book?

It kind of sounds like it may have had errors when it was encoded to a digital format. I tried to read a book this weekend that had all sorts of conversion errors - missing quotation marks and apostrophes, missing spaces between words, etc. I eventually had to resort to downloading it from another location, and managed to find a copy that wasn't corrupted.
