> You can fit more characters per line in a justified layout. Ummm, justification is about adding space to spread a line out: it's impossible to fit more text on a line that way. Kerning is about removing space. It's related to by independent of justification. A well-laid-out work will do both. > Absolutely, but well executed left-alignment can also look good Meh. For printed material I think it's worth the effort to justify. > in a format where you don't necessarily have control over the size of the page and the time to properly justify the text it should be preferred. IMO, left-alignment beats poorly justified text every time. No argument there.
