[comp.text] Ragged Right Problems

tut@cairo.Eng.Sun.COM (Bill "Bill" Tuthill) (11/20/90)

Contemporary page designs often call for ragged right (unjustified)
body text.  Both troff and Frame have trouble producing harmonious
looking ragged right text.  The principal problem is that certain
words get stranded near the right margin, and would look better if
placed on the following line.  For example, this text

	Not only does this violate the ANSI C standard, but
	it can cause big problems in application and
	library code.

looks better like this:

	Not only does this violate the ANSI C standard,
	but it can cause big problems in application and
	library code.

Does anybody know of any troff or Frame methods for beautifying
ragged right text?  In this day and age, when DWB 3.1 costs $30k,
TeX looks increasingly attractive because of its sophisticated
filling and hyphenation algorithms.
