It was thus said that the Great Don Maslin once stated:
Well Hans, it is probably less objectionable that the right column
justified printing that we see in newspaper printing which frequently
ends up with unbelievable spaces in the middle of test. Equally,
objectionable is the computerized hyphenation which oftimes totally
ignores the most basic rules. A pox on both.
I wonder why most typography systems don't use the system developed by
Donald Knuth for TeX. It easily handles about 95% of the cases for
hyphenation, and when it breaks down, you can give it hints for words it
missed.
