If the entities you are describing represent UTF-8 codepoints above 255, then 
you may be running into problems with the UTF-8 -> latin1 conversion, not the 
entities per se.

Swish-e v2 does not support UTF-8. Plans are in the works for v3 to support 
UTF-8 but that is some time away.

Post what problem HTML text you have; a small test doc is most helpful.
