[cl-typesetting-devel] Layout glitch

[Peter Seibel]

When setting justified text, cl-typesetting tries to justify the last 
line of a paragraph. That seems contrary to normal typographic style as 
it results in extremely loose lines.

This code produces the attached output which shows the problem:

(in-package :tt)

(defun foo (&optional (output "/tmp/foo.pdf"))
   (with-document ()
     (draw-pages
      (compile-text ()
        (paragraph (:h-align :justify :top-margin 12)
	 "Short paragraph")
        (paragraph (:h-align :justify :top-margin 12)
	 "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent 
euismod malesuada enim. Pellentesque elementum dui eget leo. Duis 
iaculis. Fusce malesuada, lorem quis congue pulvinar, purus mauris 
commodo risus, a rhoncus ante ipsum bibendum velit. Quisque nisi quam, 
mollis non, convallis nec, ornare sit amet, justo. Integer tincidunt, 
dolor vitae lacinia pellentesque, diam magna volutpat dui, et rutrum 
nisl tellus quis sem. Praesent suscipit tincidunt lacus. Mauris ut odio. 
Pellentesque in neque a urna lobortis iaculis. Aliquam id metus et 
ligula placerat cursus. Donec ut libero. Aliquam tempor ornare felis. 
Aenean convallis. Ut non lacus id urna fermentum bibendum. Aenean 
adipiscing bibendum pede. Nullam laoreet erat eu elit. Fusce interdum 
cursus dolor. Fusce nisl. Suspendisse diam libero."))
      :break :after
      :size :Letter
      :margins '(72 72 72 72)
      :header-top 36
      :footer-bottom 36)
   (pdf:write-document output)))
