Justification with fewer hyphens

A. M. Pringle *

University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, Corn Exchange Street, Cambridge, UK

Many books are now typeset by computer, and certain areas of this work are subject to much criticism by professional printers. An example is justification and the introduction of hyphenation. Many of the programs used in the past have been naive and inflexible. This paper presents an approach to the problem which is both new and flexible, and produces better results than many which have been seen before now. In some cases it may even produce results which improve on those of traditional methods.

Received September 1980.
