Yes, justified text works when the words are small enough and the column
is wide enough, otherwise it's plain fugly.

Hummm, it looks pretty good to me on all the resolutions I looked at. What
resolution, browser, and screen size are you using where it has the spaces?
Thanks,
Bob

With Opera 7.54, a 1280x1024 display, and a 600x800 window, I see something
like this:
We are a

Once you get past the floated image, it isn't as bad, but it still isn't
great. With a larger minimum font size, it would be worse. Without a decent
minimum font size, I get the microfonts specified in your style sheet.

Hello Darin,
Yes, I tried it in Opera 7.54 and could create the problem. But it requires
an extreme situation of high resolution and very small screen. You must be
using a handheld device?
Do many people have this type of setup?
Thanks,
Bob

I'm using a largish display (18" diagonal according to the ruler) at the
stated resolution, with the stated default window size, and with a minimum
font size of 12px. FWIW, I see similar results with MSIE, also using a
window about 600px wide, configured to ignore document font sizes (since
MSIE doesn't support a minimum font size).
Your style sheet specifies microfonts. If my browser overrides that, then a
reasonable non-fullscreen window yields short choppy lines of text that
scan poorly when justified. If my browser doesn't override that, then the
fonts are quite small.
