I suppose that at this stage of the game I would be shot if I suggested
that fully justified text, absent a very good hyphenation algorithm and
language-specific database, is less legible than ragged right, and so
should NOT be the default?
Ignoring the usual loss of rights-to-comment that accrue (i.e., don't
accrue) to someone who has been studiously ignoring this thread, I want
to underscore Steve's point with another one: fixed-width text is
LESS readable when left/right justified. Ragged is considerably easier
to read.
