The following enhancements, in order of priority are needed:
1. adopt the TeX paragraph at a time justification algorithm
2. allow space between words to be reduced as well as expanded
3. Optical alignment, sometimes called hanging punctuation
4. Microtypography, where justification is assisted by minor changes in the
width of characters.
5. Set looseness of paragraphing, either globally or per paragraph.

TeX has all of these. Scribus has 2, 3 and 4. OO Writer has zero of these.

Could I help in any way to solve this issue? I'm beginner programmer in python,
I can spend a small amount of money, I could help decide the algorithm, since I
know a very high qualified typesetter, that is specialised in how lose or narrow
spaces between word and letters should be.
This issue is very important to me, because I produce printed matter using ooo.
Until now, I always have to find workarounds - or to turn a blind eye.
Please tell me!

Issue 74715 may be dependent on this. Although it doesn't even consider the
justification of a paragraph, it does show the problem with OOo's current text
rendering. Even just left justified paragraphs don't align with each consecutive
line. It's as if each character has a varying bleed space around it.

Since 2002 (?) this Issue is referred to Platform PC and OS Windows 2000, which
is false. This issue concerns all plattforms and all operating systems.

Indeed, the justification is quite poor inside OOo.

These are some valid options, as previously mentioned.
1. Reduce/increase spacing between words 
2. Reduce/increase spacing between letters.

I would also add:
3. Scale width of the characters on the particular line

The algorithm should run like this:
1.) current word does NOT fit
2.) compress spaces up to 50% of original space
[value will be probably dependent on font size, too]
  ||
  \/ still does NOT fit

3.) lower the 'Scale width' of the characters up to 95%
decrease spacing between letters
  ||
  \/ still does NOT fit

4.) wrap word on next line
  ||
  \/ space on previous line increases to over 2x default space

5.) hyphenate word IF hyphenation is on

Implement an advanced Justification-analysis tool:
 - should inspect lines for major discrepancies
   -- report lines with space  2x default space
   -- report line-pairs, where one line is compressed
  and the other is expanded to  1.5x default space
   -- maybe some other more advanced features

My problem is, that in order to justify a text professionally, I have to format
every line separately (setting custom 'Scale widths'), which makes any use of
styles impossible.

This issue is important to make openoffice.org a professionally more and more
used software - and it's really important for myself. Please let me know, if I
can help in any way [I'm not really rich, I haven't much time left, but both
isn't zero ;-) ].
Two questions: Shouldn't this issue be assigned to all platforms and all OS's,
not PC and Windows 2000 only? And: What would it depend from, that this issue
could change it's status from NEW to STARTED? (as it's aged and important
at the same time)

Using the TeX algorithm is a good idea. Scribus, the open-source DTP program, 
is also implementing such an algorithm in its upcoming release, so code could 
also be lifted from there.

There are signs that Word may also implement such an algorithm in its next 
release: the new Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) includes a very 
interesting, impressive, and freely usable algorithm called optimal 
paragraph. See:

Agreed. This is an important issue for better typesetting, especially on narrow 
columns.

1. Reduce/increase spacing between words 
2. Reduce/increase spacing between letters.

I found this issue when looking for an issue on the non-breaking spaces. This 
is 
also illustrated in the attachment. Non-breaking spaces are not expanded as 
they 
should be. A non-breaking space is identical to a space character, except that 
it 
does not break at the margin. It is not a fixed width space like em-space or 
figure-
space.
