Besides that, higher IQ only means 'faster understanding under the same circumstances' and not 'more understanding, period'... background knowledge remains the more fundamental prerequisite. Anyway, I can see now that the 'simplification' in question at least offers the benefit of needing a re-implementation of text-justification (among others) which will fit more harmoniously into the redesigned API, instead of merely copying the Maintenance way of doing things and having to 'rape' the new design because we so rabidly want to keep that part working as it did before. It just might prove more worthwhile to be forced to re-think the process of justification in terms of the 1.0 API... let's hope so. Cheers, Andreas
