it's just bad on the actual e-reader. & I think I experienced it with another book on my old PRS-650 also

the reader will lay out a 1st line which is not justified & which has enough space a the end for another word or so. the rest of the paragraph will be OK

the calibre10 class statement is just setting a font size of 0.7em. If I remove it, the line looks much the same in PC viewer but I've not gone to the trouble of removing it, renaming it & putting both onto the e-reader to compare.

this chapter opening is some kind of "house styling" as it is throughout a series of books by same author / from same publisher

PS the publisher seem to want 3 small caps words but with the 1st letter of some of those words being larger than the rest of the word when the word is a proper noun. The damage seems to be from excluding a 1st letter from small, ( the "C" of Church ) not from also excluding a space.

so in their "house style" an opening of WHEN THE CAT ....would only have a large W, nothing else, but an opening of WHEN FRED SMITH.. would have a large W, F, and S i.e. it would go in & out of small 3 times. ( I have used bold, to illustrate this within this post)

why do you say it s a not unexpected renderer bug ?
