This sounds like the same issue that Mike Wickham reported last week.
(See the thread starting with his message "FrameMaker 8 justification
& auto letter spacing broken?" dated 8/7 if the list archive is working.)
It appears that the Automatic Letter Spacing function is significantly
broken in FrameMaker 8. Justification works OK if the function is
disabled (meaning only inter-word spacing is adjusted to achieve
justification), but does not justfy properly when you try to adjust
letter spacing as well (which is, of course, the proper way to do
professional looking justification...).

Subject: Need help with text justification
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:41:31 -0700
OK, I'm new to Frame 8 after a long hiatus (the last version I used was 6).
I am laying out a printed book (no XML, nothing fancy, just a book for
print). The client wants the right and left edges justified.
In the paragraph designer for my various styles, I've set the following:
Basic tab:
--Alignment is Justified.
Advanced tab:
--Automatic Hyphenation is selected. (I just accepted the defaults for the
hyphenation settings).
--Allow Automatic Letter Spacing is selected (and again I took the system
defaults on the settings).
The problem is that in Frame, on the screen, my right edge is knife-edge
perfect. Looks fabulous. Life is good. When I output to PDF or print
directly from Frame, the right edge is wiggly. It's not as ragged as it was
before with the text un-justified, but it certainly isn't what the client
wants.
What setting have I missed? Any ideas?
