BUG: Calibre 2.0 E-Book Viewer ePub extra space display problem
With Calibre 2.0, the E-Book Viewer is displaying an extra space between some words in ePubs when I have the serif font set to Constantia (or Century or Century Schoolbook etc). When set to Times New Roman these extra spaces disappear. Using the editor, I can tell these spaces always occur when things like:
<a id="page_281" class="calibre1"></a> appear. I speculate that perhaps the viewer is replacing this with a zero-width space character? And that some fonts incorrectly display this as a non-zero width space? I suggest either dropping the zero-width character entirely or at least giving the user an option to drop it. With Calibre 1.47 these epubs looked fine. Windows 7 SP1 |

BTW an extra space is also appearing before (and sometimes after) things like: <span class="txit">italics</span> |

This bug affects all platforms, not just linux. And if you have hyphenation turned on in the viewer preferences, then it will automatically insert soft hyphens.
