I'd suggest using either Sigil or Calibre's editor to remove all the <font> and </font> pairs.
Now if we are going to discuss Kobo's habit of allowing breaks at tags, that's a whole different issue despite the specification seeming to indicate that this is allowed.

I agree about the sloppyness, but it is in a lot of these books of the firm we called the central bookhouse who is almost the only distributing point in The Netherlands.
The Sony PRS-T2 has the same problem but they patched it and the PRS-T3 just works fine with it.
I agree there is a lot of not needed code in it, but there are also a very huge amount of people that say.. Sigil ??? ehh I can't open my book ( DRM ) or "what means editing ? "
For me it is no problem, just placed the replace code in the converting part of Calibre and done but we sometimes forget that 90% of the e-book buyers, with all respect, are just struggle to put the books on the reader, and don't understand anything we are saying here.
