Why does everyone these days seem to forget that windows are
resizable?
FWIW though, I find *everything* freaking unreadable and
barely-usable on a 16:9 - good for media, worthless for
computing.

Text justification has nothing to do with maximum line width.
"max-width" works perfectly fine with left-justified, too.
And left-justified makes it easier to distinguish individual
lines, otherwise it's easier to loose your place when reading
from one line down to the next line. Plus it does suffer from
those inconsistently-sized spaces.
As I've said in one of previous messages, text will be
left-aligned, there is no way I would make it centered. I was
talking about layout alignment.
I was talking about max-width as a means to keep text readable,
as 300 characters per line is really too hard to read.
It seems I'll have to implement this design proposal in HTML/CSS
to be able to better communicate design decisions.
