Describe the bug
I am primarily a reader of Chinese EPUB files, and I downloaded some EPUB files from HaoDoo. However, when I open the app, the book list displays only □□□□ □□□ instead of the actual Chinese characters. Additionally, after selecting an EPUB file, the app crashes and freezes my device (NDSLL).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Download a Chinese EPUB file from [HaoDoo](https://www.haodoo.net/).
Open the EPUB in the app.
Check the book list in the library.
Select the EPUB, and the app crashes.

Hello,
The default font included with the app does not include Chinese characters; you can add a TTF font file that does. Put the file into the "Font" folder and select it in the prefs. Here is a font that should work:

https://fonts.google.com/selection?preview.text=如果您想參加製作電子書,請參考這裡%E3%80%82%0A%0A%0A%0A%0A如果您想參加校正電子書,請參考這裡%E3%80%82%0A%0A%0A%0A掃描檔清單:徵初步整理清單一,清單二,清單三%0A%0A有意製作或協助分章校正的讀友,請隨時聯絡好讀%E3%80%82%0A&query=chinese

You may find that the book browser still shows squares. Future plans include changing the default font to include Chinese.

My tests in emulation are hanging, so there may be more to do to fix this.
