I try to convert an epub ebook to a printable pdf. The problem is that the kerning (spaces between letters) is bad. Some letters are too close to each other and the overall look is really uneven. This happen with many ebooks and fonts, for example the introduction ebook (that come with Calibre) to pdf with default values. Note that I have seen this problem with many word processors as well (but not with Libreoffice that do it right).

I am using Calibre in Archlinux. Both the official binary version and the version distributed by Archlinux are affected.
