I'm old enough to have actualy hand set type.
Dkb's problem is/was to some degree resolved by kerning and range kerning, where the words and the space
between the letters of in a word were spaced out to help right justify the texl. And of course hyphenation, although I don't see it used that way any more.
Meredithwh, you're a hundred persent correct. For me at least. I am dyslexic, and the ragged right side of a page makes it both easyier and faster to read.
