I used for some time "text-rendering optimize Legibility" in patch, but I encountered spacing issues (in a word every 2 or 3 pages there was too much space between letters). Then I tried "optimize speed" but now I use default settings in Kepub: kerning but no ligatures, and it works (I found that font Merryweather is fantastic also without ligatures).
This is the main drawback with Kepub in standard Kobo engine (the other is that when a note is too long You can't see it completely in pop up).
I would like to have ligatures in Kepub with Nickel without problems, I am perplexed about the lack of this feature. Now I often use KOReader to read Kepub, and also, of course, to read pdf.

The answer is NO, left alignment will solve spacing issues, I don't know if disabling hyphenation makes a difference...
