Joe,

Nice to hear about your new promotion to arbitrator of  what features need
to be added to Rev. And, please don't order any PIZZA for me as I may like
mine a bit different from yours.

JB,
I've actually built my own text rendering engine (and bitmap text font
editor) which can be found in ButtonGadget. I think your best bet would be
either:
1) use a monospace font and pad spaces between words or;
2) use the HTMLtext feature to insert very small bits of whitespace between
words.

I understand why you would want to do justified text. I want it too for
products like Hemingway and ButtonGadget. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
we'll see a full text field object with these types of features in Rev one
day.

best,
Chipp
