at first - I don't know an answer for your question :) at last - but implementing this algorithm rulez[1]. Won't you implement TeX spacing alg. too? it'll rulez[2] too brotha[3] notes: [1] [2] [3] - sorry for this words but I'm listening one local hiphop record. You cannot imagine their "coolness" :))) On Friday 20 of February 2004 22:47, Florian Arnold wrote: > Hello Scribus community, > > Are there any plans to provide a globally optimizing line break algorithm > (the Plass/Knuth algorithm, as used in Tex) for Scribus?
