I thought it would be good to bump this issue a little as I noticed that LO 5.3
has A new cross-platform text layout engine that uses HarfBuzz for consistent
text layout on all platforms. Although HarfBuzz does not do (full)
justification it self:
http://www.manpagez.com/html/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-1.0.3/hello-harfbuzz.php
"If you want to layout text in paragraphs, you will probably want to send each
word of your text to Harfbuzz to determine its shaped width after glyph
substitutions, then work out how many words will fit on a line, and then
finally output each word of the line separated by a space of the correct size
to fully justify the paragraph."
I would like to ask those who have previously looked at implementing this full
text justification feature, will the use of HarfBuzz make it easier to
implement this feature? I assume it would have at least simplified the code
base a little, which seems to have been a major issue.
