By the way, non-greedy algorithms for text justification, i.e. those that do not just put as many words into each line as possible (starting from the first) but try to reach greater equality between length of spaces, are to slow, right? Both Writer and Word seem to use only the greedy algorithm. (Pages does some weird stuff by spacing out characters within words.) So, I guess that's the case. I was just curious.

I do ot know whether they are too slow, but they are definitely more complicated. I am not sure that the gain is worth the effort.
(TeX does this and much more for the final output, though)

Yes, maybe it's not worth the effort. I just remembered that I set all my LyX documents to left aligned because, at least previously, the gaps between words were just to wide to be nicely readable. I don't remember exactly anymore what was the main cause of the gaps. I might try using justification again to see.
