I was wishing it was...

Edit: mdash used as a quotation mark is a different issue, that is a publisher error. The mdash is a line break point; a proper quotation dash (unicode U+2015) should be used instead of a mdash (unicode U+2014) for quotation. Both kepub and epub readers handle this correctly: they will both allow a line break between an mdash and a letter, but not between a quotation dash and a letter.

Thanks for the hint, but that is even worse. It's not a proper "long dash" is sorter and it keeps separated from the word.
All the epubs are built by myself and the only reader that does this is Kobo with kepubs and Sony T1 with simple epubs.
Kindle preserve those two glyphs together, I have them all, and I have tested this in all of them. Even the apps, on Android or iPad or even PC/Mac do the job perfectly.
It's only an issue in kepubs. It doesn't happen with the exact same file as xxx.epub. But I like ACCESS renderer because it implements some CSS3 and all the extra statistics.
It's a shame, but this is a bug in ACCESS.
Something similar happens with hyphens. The same file as xxx.epub breaks the words in the right place while as xxx.kepub.epub breaks the word in order to fit the width... which ends as a total disaster
Anyway... thanks a lot for your help
