Jon - That's interesting... The 505 is actually the oldest of my ADE reader implementations, so I expected the newer ones to work better. It may be, of course, that the Kobo and BeBook are ignoring the svg font entirely, and using their default font. (I don't always notice subtle font changes.) Both will, however, render embedded ttf fonts properly. This is the first time I've run across a usage of svg fonts, so I'm not quite sure where the problem lies.

Edit: The problem with extra white space after italics does show up, on all three readers, so maybe it is using the svg font.
