Initial sort order

I'm sort of leaning towards "none of the list", just keep the speed and small footprint. Sometimes more isn't better.

Good luck, and good work,

I think we can have the best all of all worlds. I've already found a free third-party CSS parser that I think I can adapt to let me do basic CSS decoding, and in terms of options for controlling justification/rendering complexity, it doesn't add much to the footprint of the application - I just need to add more 'advanced' options; people who care to can adjust these, and people who don't care don't need to go to the 'settings/advanced' tab. It will increase the amount of space used by the program's temporary files, but I don't think that's too much of an issue.

I'll work on this for version 1.0 - give me a week or two, and let's see where we end up

Thanks for trying the program, and please do continue to give me your feedback,

Jim
