That's how I do it for print layout. I edited a bunch of kerns (mostly for punctuation) into my standard text fonts long ago.

But what epub readers have kerning? I think that's even less likely to be supported than these "exotic" spaces.

Thanks, I guess that will work.
Maybe I could use "letter-spacing".
I'll play with it.
