{The case for justified text}
{Jennifer Claudio}
{Documents must be aesthetically pleasing without appearing deliberately
designed. One of the basic functions built into most word processing
software is text justification. The algorithms behind this function,
however, vary based on the software and the preset rules within the
software. Some criticisms include compromised readability. Defenders of
justified text argue that as long as the typeface is appropriately sized
and kerned, justification does not detract from readability. This
presentation succinctly demonstrates the behavioral differences visible
in WordPerfect, Word, InDesign, and \LaTeX, and examines the ability for
people who read common printed media to notice the differences.
