The picture I copied only shows different kerning values. In the final product there will only be one of them (I believe third one is the best but it depends on the type designer).
Serifs doesn't matter at all. This is a sans serif:
As you see, kerning there in all books you read. Go to your library and check this pairs: Vo, Te, ll and you will notice it. |
Have you tried using different fonts when reading kepubs direct from the store? When I look at a book using the Amasis font, it seems to do what you want it to do.
