I see. And I guess this problem comes up often enough when there are
full width insets.
By the way, non-greedy algorithms for text justification, i.e. those
that do not just put as many words into each line as possible (starting
from the first) but try to reach greater equality between length of
spaces, are to slow, right? Both Writer and Word seem to use only the
greedy algorithm. (Pages does some weird stuff by spacing out characters
within words.) So, I guess that's the case. I was just curious.
