full justification in a text field

[Tom Glod]

Hello Curt,

The only thing you can do is adjust the font size to maximize the use of
the width of the field.....with the don't wrap enabled. :)
Remember the margins can be adjusted individually. like so 0,5,5,0
Also, there is a problem with the margins when the font gets too small. in
those cases, it helps to have "showborder" enabled, even if the borderwidth
is set to 0.

All the best,

Tom
