[Scribus] TeX line break algorithm?

[Florian Arnold]

Hello Scribus community,

Are there any plans to provide a globally optimizing line break algorithm (the 
Plass/Knuth algorithm, as used in Tex) for Scribus? I think this algorithm is 
one of the greatest breakthroughs in high quality typesetting and I really 
can't understand, why this brilliant approach is literally ignored by nearly 
all typesetting computer programs. (In fact, TeX and - with a delay of over 
20 years - InDesign are the only major programs that use it, AFAIK.)

In order to change this a little bit, I'd love to implement this algorithm for 
Scribus (or contribute to an implementation). However, as a scribus newbie I 
can't estimate yet, if I'll have enough time for this. But I still have 
started to browse the sources. So far, I couldn't find the place where line 
breaking is done. Can anybody give me a hint?

Thanks and bye,
Florian
