That's true, and I've wondered _why_ Terminal does that. It seems like it
just makes the man pages slightly harder to read. For that matter, I'm
curious why anybody would want to justify text in a plain-text editor, or
even in a crummy word processor. A real publishing program has
sophisticated tracking, kerning, and hyphenation routines (usually called
"H&J") that all work together to even out the text flow.
