[Tugindia] tugindia Digest, Vol 136, Issue 3

[Amit Raj Dhawan]

Hello,

For better justification in LaTeX, you can use microtypographic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtypography> features of pdftex. These
include font expansion, protrusion, and inter-character spacing. Try using
the microtype <http://ctan.org/pkg/microtype> package. Hope this answers
your query.

Regards,
Amit
