IE4 and higher definitely supports it, I use it in <DIV> tags all the time on my website. Netscape seems to justify the text properly as far as I can tell. It's a throwback from CSS, I think they worked it into the HTML 4.0 specs because it makes CSS easier to implement over the top (what kind, kind people at w3c ;) I'm actually wondering how much stuff Voyager is missing out on, simply because of missing functions in the OS. I'm sure Olli et al would die for anti-aliasing built in to diskfont.library (it shouldn't be too hard to have the glyph engines create an alpha map, and attach it to the standard GlyphData structure) or the ability to pluck a Unicode glyph out of a font, arbitrarily. A question to Olli, and everyone: what things do you think need to be in the OS, or provided by officialised-third-party-systems, that wopuld enable you to advance Voyager? So far OS3.5 offers 24-bit printing (big deal) but nothing much else.. so what would *YOU* like in a new OS?
