Thanks!!

I have to try this.
In Spain we don't use double/single quotes for dialogs, instead we use "em dashes" and it's very annoying to see how those "em dashes" separate from the word when I have full justified text(it's the usual way of reading text in Spain, and I CAN'T read with left aligned text ).

Just to make it clear:

"I see you haven't done what I asked you to" Steve said.
"I have no intention to do what you ask me to" replies Frank "It's your fault expecting that from me".

In Spanish that would be:

—I see you haven't done what I asked you to —Steve said.
—I have no intention to do what you ask me to —replies Frank—. It's your fault expecting that from me.

But in kepubs, when the text is justified, it usually ends like this:

— I see you haven't done what I asked you to — Steve said.
— I have no intention to do what you ask me to — replies Frank —. It's your fault expecting that from me.

Those blanks between the "em dash" and the word drive me crazy XDDD
And for now I've just used the system fonts
I wonder if this could fix the problem.

It would be easier to read just simple epubs, but Kepubs gives me that "extra" with all the statistics

Note: I simply remame xxx.epub to xxx.kepub.epub and fix the issue with the cover. But internally the file is the same.
Indeed this doesn't happen in Kindle.
I also dissable hyphenation. It doesn't do a good job with spanish language
