--- Comment #39 from devsepp...@gmail.com ---
Regarding the recent introduction of the ‘smart justification’ feature of
LibreOffice that is apparently planned to be the default justification
algorithm of the next major versions of LibreOffice. While I very much welcome
any improvements to justification, I also started to think that could there be
some easy way to offer users something that is more than just copycatting what
M$ Word is doing.

Now that the ‘smart justification’ makes possible to shrink word spacing up to
20%, how difficult would it be to make default space width and maximum
shrinkage user selectable?  This would allow for the users to fine tune the
justification to their liking. My idea here is that if the you increase the
default space width and max shrinkage, you could have some control over space
width variability between lines. The benefit of this could vary between
languages. The Finnish language has much longer word length on average than
English and as such might benefit more from custom settings. Of course the
problem with this suggestion is that it not compatible with Word, but users
could be warned when enabling this feature and when exporting these documents
to Word.

I would love to know does anyone else like this idea or is it just too much
trouble for too little gain?
