That

Thank you for this report. I did not think about this problem...

Probably in future I'll completely change an implementation of justified

paragraphs, and this problem will be solved.

But it will be not very soon.

This is a known problem. It occurs because of difference of fonts in

different resolutions (of screen and printer). It does not have easy

solution.

I am afraid it also will not be fixed soon.
