Thanks Bruno!!!
The workaround I was using was dorky but effective enough for the form
letters I generate. The problem came from letters where the first
line ("Dear Whoever") had a flush-left margin but subsequent
paragraphs started with tabs but were justified.
My initial workaround was to discourage/disallow clients from
justifying the body of their letters; use left-aligned text, or
justify the entire line. One complained (understatement) so I made a
Chunk using the same font/size with spaces in it to approximate a tab;
sloppy but effective. Put on my own to-do list parsing the paragraphs
and using setIndent eventually which seems cleaner (they set the text
through a different interface; I read, parse, substitute, and generate
letters .. mail merge on steroids -- jobs can have hundreds of
different templates).
One thought I had: why does setIndent not exhibit the same problem?
Isn't it doing essentially the same thing? I was going to yank down
the sources and try to figure it out but then got in trouble for
obsessing on my "perfect tabs" so moved on.
