Oh, I'd been using this before...
Code:
-webkit-hyphens:none;
-epub-hyphens:none;
-moz-hyphens:none;
hyphens:none;
...but I'll add in that adobe one now, too. Thanks!

(But with that selective enabling of hyphenation of certain words you are dangerously close to fixed-format, if you ask me...)

How so? I can still change the font sizes, and allowed hyphenation on most of the "problematic" longer words, and tested the entire text (from beginning to end) at a whole variety of sizes, and it a reflows nicely and, indeed, works quite well -- that's for my modern text, of course.

It would be more likely to work if you had use the normal "s". Still, the reader would have to have some hyphenation rules beyond the simple dictionary approach (such as it's allowed to break between t and m).

Hmmm... when I think about it, when I was using that JSL font, even with hypenation turned completely off I didn't really see any major issues (and the issue is when, say, you're in two-page landscape mode on the iPad and the line length is short, and when a long word wraps it makes the previous line too spread out with large spaces between the words). It wasn't really a problem before because even with all my entire text set with a basefont size of 100%, that JSL font was still "smaller" in size -- which seemed to make that issue not noticeable (if not practically non-existent).
This Fell font I'm now using is "bigger", though, so maybe I'll try just shrinking it down a bit, say to 85% or 90% or something. That would probably do the trick.
