the creativity of using a "glyph" to cheat and force full

As mentioned, Rev already provides the capability to have a "glyph"
without
a custom font -- you just set the imagesource of the space
characters to a
graphic of the appropriate pixel width. The beauty of this approach
is that
the underlying text data is not changed. You still have the correct
number
of characters, and they are still spaces. It would be very
interesting to
see this executed to see how fast it performs.
The number one request in the Quality Control Center happens to be
report
#670, which is closely related to the basic issue here, which is a
more
functional field object. Ideally, you'd want to have tracking,
kerning, and
a bunch of other typographic affordances. An upgrade to the field
object is
in the works, and it's non-trivial as it does have to work across
platforms.
Until then, might I suggest a workaround which hasn't been
mentioned, which
is to embed a browser. You'll be able to present text with full
justification there. It will be a little more cumbersome to code
(and you
cannot edit text directly) but it seems to me to be the most robust
solution
for the time being.

Thanks for the info. I really do not need it today so maybe I will
wait and put my energy into something else.
It looks like Joe Wilkins will get his wish for now.
