Recently I installed the newest Cool Reader for my Kindle 3 from CrazyCoder's Github. It's working fine, but I can't get kerning to work. The checkbox in the options menu does nothing.

I checked the desktop version on my Linux PC and there I can't even find a kerning checkbox. Kerning doesn't work here either.

And yes, I've tried with fonts that have kerning information. When I try FBReader on my Linux PC the kerning with the same fonts looks fine. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a working download for FBReader for Kindle 3.

Am I missing something or does Cool Reader not support kerning? Any other way to get decent kerning on my Kindle 3 or any other more recent e-ink device (I might upgrade if I got better font handling)?
