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.

Have you tried it with justification on?

Okay, but I am pretty sure Kobo can use any software they want on their devices. Just because they chose to use the RMSDK engine does not mean that is the only option. Point being that they should be striving to offer the best experience available and as of yet their .epub engine choice nor their in house .kepub engine provides an acceptable experience in my eyes when both engines have numerous visual bugs this many years into the development and retail availability of their devices and it's included software.

The sole purpose of an eReader is to display text correctly so one can read it. If an eReader can not perform it's only function of displaying text correctly then I would have to say that the device has failed.
