In the result the kerning is visible, but the spacing between words is sometimes very uneven. It seems that the spaces between words on a line are equally distributed, except for those after a period (or colon), which have a smaller and fixed width.
A real example:
Code:
 prestigio militar americano y la moral de las tropas
 quedaron     seriamente     dañados. La    discusión
I have used the font with the reduced space character.
There is a patch available to reduce the space between words for KePub. It works well.

Here is the link tot he thread for the patches for the current Kobo firmware.

Make sure you have this version firmware installed first.
