I tried updating the synopsis by casting like in the metadata script
and also by creating a new field with a different character set but I
keep on getting 'Cannot transliterate character between character
sets.', which I'm guessing is what the problem is. Is there any way
I'm going to be able to fix this without having to write a program to
select and then update the synopsis with nice-ified text?

Thanks
