Many thanks, Jonathan.

I thougtht that LetterSpace was the best option for that too.

I tried it (with LetterSpace=30) hyphenation in that line is wrong, 
whether in letterspaced text or not 
(http://www.ousia.tk/grammatike.pdf#page=4). First line on page 4 is 
clear to me that is wrong.

BTW, I guess that LetterSpacing should be only applied to letter+letter 
and not letter+punctuation mark (at least not before dot, comma, colon, 
semicolon and similar ones).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
