  1. If you look at your copies of those images, you will notice that they are not using a monospaced font. Otherwise 'violet' would look like 'violet' -- pay attention to the extra space around the 'i' and 'l' and the even spacing between the letter center lines.
  2. There is no requirement in either the epub2 or epub3 specs to have a monospaced font available.
  3. Would it be nice to have a monospaced font? Yes. Is it a bug not to have a monospaced font? No.

Very much to do the post you linked to. He is attempted to align text without using a monospace font. He rejected any suggestions/workarounds with whinging that he paid "all good money" and it's a bug that his Kobo does not have a monospaced font.

As for how many Kobo employees? If any Kobo employees are reading these forums, they are not doing so as Kobo employees. Contrary to what some people seem to think, this is not an official or even unofficial, Kobo support forum.
