You're right, for the most part they should play no role. It's been so long since I've worked with justified type for print that I didn't remember clearly all the preferences and tradeoffs I used to experiment with. On the other hand, I seem to recall some printed newspapers with narrow columns using obvious tracking as part of their justification routines, resulting in rather ugly type. I'm still curious why Terminal uses justified type for man pages, and why somebody would want justified type in a plain-text file. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
