Hi all,

I've noticed that KEPUBs converted by Calibre 8 onwards have badly broken justification (see comparison shot).

I raised a Calibre bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2107778

It was discovered that the output is different apparently in how the spaces are placed in or around the span tags. This apparently breaks justified text on the Kobo.

Was informed by Kovid that this was necessary to fix highlighting without ugly gaps, which was more important, since justified text was not an important part of reading, and that I was the only one complaining. And that his recommended solution would be to simply not use justified text. :shrug

Which is fair enough, but I'd love to see if anyone's discovered a workaround for those who use text justification?

Is there also some possibility of some config on the device causing this and potentially approaching a fix from that angle?
