hyphenation

My example shows, respectively, justification with hyphenation, justification without hyphenation, and left aligned type.

I'm more skeptical of the benefit of auto-hyphenation than the author is; it's been my experience that even with a proper hyphenation dictionary, you get some weird hyphenations that you want to manually undo (or force).

To be completely fair, learning about proper hyphenation of compound adjectives was never on anyone's to-do list.

English/German with different hyphenation rules[0], different rules for ligatures[1] and different rules/preferences for spacing after punctuation[2].

No hyphenation, no ligatures, and overall the output looks ugly (compared to TeX).

It was the aggressive hyphenation of words that really did it for me.

I never understood how word processors and web browsers are so incapable of of doing hyphenation.

With columns that narrow, it will still look like crap without hyphenation.

That's a rather large font though, and no use of hyphenation.

This includes all sorts of novel spacing, hyphenation, and other algorithms.

Adjust the hyphenation at the end of long lines.

The kobo has many of its own problems, but it gets the reading experience right: it uses (very un-aggressive) hyphenation, and the lock screen displays the book cover.

The incorrect hyphenation of "ground-up" in the second sentence is hilarious and kind of disgusting.

Hyphenation improves readability tremendously.
