Disagree. In the book I'm reading, the unusually titled
HHhH (a WWII suspense novel and example of metafiction), I get horrible hyphenations with justified text (even using smaller type):
coincide- nce
hone- st-looking
Persona- lly
barb- aric
cons- idered
When reformatted to unjustified, I get no hyphenated words, only phrases like "horse-drawn" or words like "re-engaged" that are normally hyphenated.
I went to another new novel, John Lanchester's
Capital, and viewed several pages unjustified and again had no broken words.
It doesn't seem to depend on type size or margin width either. For fun, I made the typesize like 18 pt with really wide margins and again, no broken words.
I don't know what KT would do with, say,
antidisestablishmentarianism
or
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch
though I see MobilEread put in a space in the last word.
