Justifcation settings

[Sofia25629549ta0q]

I'm at my wit's end with this book I'm working on. The author kept on checking the spaces between words and I already told him that because of the justification settings it will never be 100% equal in the entire book. With that being said, maybe someone can help me check if there's anything else I can do with this book. Maybe a tip on a good justification settings? right now, this is mine. (attached below.) I also attached the latest pdf of the book i'm working on.

It is true, with justification you cannot have equal spaces between words.

You can allow hyphenation with the correct language and allow a mall amount of letter spacing, depending on the selected font.

Or. you can use left alignment. This would create eqal spaces, and not allow any variance in the justification settings.

In addition to what Willi mentioned:

- Your justification settings are fine (though purists will frown at glyph scaling)

- Allow hyphenation, making sure to set the spacing/hyphen slider to the left (better spacing, but more hyphens). If the author then starts moaning about the hyphens, set the slider at the middle.

Best would be to prepare a few samples with different settings and ask the author to pick what they like best.

hey, i feel you. i work with full justified colomns WITHOUT any hyphenations allowed!

word spacing i usually make 90%>100%>150%
kerning i tweak as i see fit but usually try to stay as close to zero as possible
99% for glyph scaling>not more than 101%

I also usually check that last line in a paragraph and sometime manually track spacing (weird BUT i work with an OCD person).
