Stock FW any newer 3.x version. Any .kepub with any stock font set to lowest margin setting (closest to the edge). On the right hand side italics and F's get cut off.
Stock settings and options should not be seeing cut off letters. The fact that problems like this are allowed to exist for so long just illustrates how poor Kobo does their quality control and how unskilled their programmers are. Visual bugs in the firmware should not make it past beta testing let alone be in the final shipped versions time and time again. I mean it's not like Kobo is some small startup with few resources. At this point it is inexcusable the amount of bugs and problems that their firmware has and the fact that they cannot even get their proprietary .kepub engine working correctly let alone the abysmal experience that is the .epub engine (which at this point almost appears to be on purpose in order to push their own format) just shows how little Kobo actually cares about CS or providing an adequate eReader experience for their customers. $160.00 for an eReader that can not display text correctly after numerous updates is a pretty sad state of affairs.

I'm looking right now at a kEpub with default fonts selected, font size roughly 50%, zero line spacing / margins and justification off.
I see a ragged right edge with ZERO character truncation on any characters, italicized or regular.
This is on a Glo with 3.11 firmware.
The book I am using is Under The Influence - How Labatt and its allies brewed up a nation of beer drinkers.
