I tried a lot of things with justify, and it doesn't seem to work.
I noticed these thin spaces before and after some signs (like ! ? ; " ) and I was wondering if it was part of the issue, but as I am not used to epub code, I was not sure.
So I will try to search and replace, so hopefully I can get rid of the thin spaces. How could I proceed to manage leading spaces in paragraphs?
There has been a bit of discussion on how Kobo handles non-English punctuation like this. The conclusion is basically, "not very well". In this case, the extra spaces and line breaks in the book code is making it worse. But, they should be ignored. Or treated as a single space. And not justifying the text helps. Or probably just hides some of the errors. As @JSWolf pointed out, the RMSDK used for epubs appears to handle these better. But, I think it has other issues with this sort of thing. I don't remember what, I'm just sure it has come up in the past.
