Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12013
Microjustification via character spacing
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:07 UTC
(Last of three issues suggested by using XyWrite) The normal way of adjusting a line for full justification of text is to fill the line with complete spaces between the words. This often results in a strange-looking line. The solution used by XyWrite was to borrow a technique from newspaper column justification -- micro-spacing both spacss and kerning (between letters). The result, even for lines which reuquired a lot of spacing, did not appear to have been justified -- it looked like it just "happened" to fill the line perfectly.
Microjustification makes for much nicer looking justified text. Will this be set for at least a "look at" in the near future (say after 1.1 is out)?
SBA: Adjusted title to meet the description. This is platform and OS independant -> changed to "All".
SBA: Reassigned to Bettina from the User Experience team for consideration.
I'm almost hungry for this one. However, since microjustification takes more computing power and time, I would recommend that it be an option with a warning "may significantly slow processing time for viewing an printing."
Any thoughts on this one, yet?
