Checked it, there is no estonian language package for latex. But then, why
doesn't LyX use nohyphenation, when i set the language to be estonian and
there's no language package available?
Using the preamble from your given link:
\tolerance=200
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{2em}
the right sides of lines still went somewhat wavy.

And when i check it, the lines really seem to be same length. Seems that i
simply have to manually set all the margins to some acceptable value and also
load the geometry package. But DOES that work always and for all fonts?
