Hyphenation can still be improved and actually it is a requirement for printed publications. With hyphenation, justification works better and text should have a more pleasant outlook. We can tweak the dictionaries to avoid hyphenating the word FreeBSD and such. And as a last resort, we can still easily turn it off if we are not satisfied with the result. The rendering is still a work in progress. I'll see what I can do here. Gabor
