How to fix PRS 650 displaying accented characters with two wrong other characters

I've borrowed several ePub format books from our local (UK) library. They all display accented characters wrongly (in UK English language text). I use Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and wonder if it is a quirk of the Unicode character set.

For example, the word pate with a circumflex over the a and an acute accent over the e displays the a circumflex as capital A with an overscore, followed by a US cent symbol; the e acute displays as a capital A with a tilde over it, followed by the copyright symbol.

Is there a known fix?

I have the latest Reader Library software v3.3.00.07130 and the firmware on the Reader is as shipped in December 2010.

Thanks if anyone can help. This is irritating, rather than a show stopper, but it would be nice to find a fix, or a software or firmware update.
