As the person who wrote that epub, it was easier, at that time, for me to use that code with it's associated CSS style rather than to create multiple styles with different spacing embedded in paragraph styles. Can you supply an example of an ePub you created in 2010 just to compare?

I never intended it to be a manual on how to write an ePub but rather to allow me to check for missing glyphs in a font. At the time I originally wrote it, I was reading David Weber's War God series and he did enjoy using names such as Hŭrăka, Zŭrăk, Ǣtesk, Œ̄tesk, Shīgū, Tomanāk and Sothōi which my Kobo showed as Z⍰r⍰k for instance. Oddly enough, testing on a Kindle Keyboard 2nd generation showed the same issues. My hardcovers didn't.

If my old notes are correct, it was originally created using Sigil 0.70 when Strahinja Val Marković was still Sigil's primary developer. If you feel like doing a total rewrite using what you feel is acceptable coding practices, feel free to do so. For me, it has served it's purpose for the last 15 years and I don't want to waste my time doing a full rewrite to match my current coding practices.
