When working on justification, it will be important to consider the
complex text layout languages. Some justification implementations (such
as Firefox) break the clusters when justifying (placing glue or
something between the characters, I guess), not allowing the text layout
engines to do their work properly and disabling the ligatures. The
result is unreadable text.
