hi flo.

at first - I don't know an answer for your question :)
at last - but implementing this algorithm rulez[1]. Won't
 you implement TeX spacing alg. too? it'll rulez[2] too brotha[3]

notes: [1] [2] [3] - sorry for this words but I'm listening one
local hiphop record. You cannot imagine their "coolness" :)))
