not there. I could say "go and do it", but bear in mind that this is
tricky to get good. I did it once (2002) for Freevo project and lots
of heuristics to have something acceptable in English... Latex uses
hypenization mappings to know where to break it, and it changes
between languages... just doing naive "if not word, break at ANY char"
is bad, and somethings can cause weird meanings... also, need to add
"-" and accounting that is tricky as well, as kerning and ligatures
may change the size, you cannot say width of "-" is W, so I need room
to fit W... you need to add it and recalculate the size, possible
going back more than one character.

Anyway, it can be done, we could even do some good heuristics, but it
consumes lots of manpower... if you want to give it a try, be my guest
:-)
