Thanks. I never made the connection between "Advanced Features" on the 
style setup screen and the features I regularly use for TeX. I assume 
that optical alignment is automatically applied? I don't see a setting 
for it on the style setup screen.

Now if we can just borrow the paragraph-at-a-time justification code 
from TeX Scribus will be in the top rank of justified text layout 
engines.
