Hyphenation issue with epub

Hi,

I came by a strange issue with epub generated using Calibre. If I enable hyphenation at Calibre viewer, it doesn't display well (weird spacing). Further details and screenshots are available at https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook/issues/284 .

I can try tweaking the generator settings. It's also possible it's a viewer bug given the document displays well on native viewer of OS X. Any insight is welcome.

hyphenation in the calibre viewer works using the hyphenate.js library which inserts soft-hyphens into the text. From the screenshot you posted the softhyphens are being rendered as blanks, most likely because fo some text rendering/font css in your book.

@kovidgoyal, Thanks a lot! We'll try tweaking the CSS.
