    Just to give y'all an impression of what happens when text is justified.

     Mind the gap ! (This text is in Dutch, set at a reasonable line width.)

    Is there an alternate version of XD for Japanese with justification features?

    This is embarassing.

    If you have not done that already, I suggest providing your reasons to justify the inclusion of this feature in XD if you have not done it already. In English at least, the justify feature is rarely used in web and mobile apps. Its best use case is in the print media.

    Design is about making visual hierarchies accessible. Since it comes across as if you feel as if my argument is invalid, I'll say that yours is as well. While others may feel that a justify option is irrelevant, its a very common tool in most design programs which include type tools. It has always fit in with the rest of the type options, it belongs to the family. Why shouldn't Adobe include it in XD? Its incredibly unintrusive, they already have advanced coding around the tool, and although uncommon in web design, will have a use eventually. There are specific styles of design that commonly use the justify option, and the use of justify is much larger than you probably understand. I know you're thinking, "Well, Adobe can't just add in every single tool requested, right?", but considering Adobe is a business and businesses want to make money, it makes even more sense for them to include it. The Adobe "economy" is as difficult as Apple's to leave, but if someone realizes that they can have almost all if not more of the tools they need in another program for less money, what will stop them from leaving. I'm saying, its in Adobe's best interests to include this tool, especially considering it has been requested multiple times. And that's all I've got to say on the matter.


    I don't have a strong opinion about this, but had a couple of thoughts...

     

    Opening of Sketch files is an existing feature of XD. You could argue for support for justified text not as only being a new feature, but a failure of an existing feature. XD fails to import justified text from Sketch.

     

    Sketch can export the text as an image (as can many other programs that do justified text). There are a lot of visual things that XD cannot do, and so you use Illustrator or Photoshop to make an image that you then use in your mockup in XD. Justified text may be an obvious small addition to other text attributes, but while it's not there you can still create an image in another program. The lack of justified text does not stop you from showing justified text solutions.

    As as little UX note.. perhaps use another word other than 'solved' considering the disappointment factor of Google results for "adobe xd justify text" shows me that the problem of my project manager impatiently waiting for a simple function she can do in Powerpoint has been solved. It definitely gives me, the user, that negative surprise as I find something other than what was indicated after clicking on the text link, and those are to be avoided.
