--- Comment #36 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- The bug title mentions both paragraph-level adjustment and "character scaling", meaning, I assume, the possibility of contacting, rather than just expanding, inter-word spacing. While these are of course related - they are not, in fact, dependent. Even with single-line justification, one could squeeze space a bit until a limit, then move words to the next line and expand space. So, I suggest we have separate bugs for going paragraph-level and one for supporting intra-word space contraction. Also, we should consider bug 116969: "Justification by alternative methods", which lists: * Use of alternative character shapes * Use of ligatures * Use of expandable "connection" glyphs, e.g. kashida in Arabic and one could also mention * Slight expansion and contraction of glyphs, a-la the LaTeX microtype package The bottom line is that I believe we should have a meta-bug for justification and line breaking logic, supplanting bug 116969, with a separate bug for each capability. Is that ok with everyone? Would you like to structure the bugs differently? Finally, I also think maybe paragraph-level line breaking and justification logic is something worth tendering for in 2024, and encourage others to help put that forward. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
