With the alt-hyphen font they will look the same in both KePub and ePub.

Interesting, so it sounds like in theory the ACCESS (kepub) engine is more typographically correct than the RMSDK (epub) engine?
OpenType fonts can support "alternate" characters within the font - for example numerals might come in monospaced and proportional versions - and I wonder if that's a good way to include your adjusted hyphen? Adobe documents how to access these alternates in some CSS engines at
