Justified interword spacing: last-line justification · case 03
The final line of a paragraph is stretched across the measure.
Case contract
Input [word widths, target width, is_last, natural space, min space, max space]. Last lines and single-word lines are set ragged with natural spaces. Otherwise distribute target-sum(words) over the gaps: equal share with the remainder units added to the rightmost gaps; a share below min space is ["overfull"]; if any gap would exceed max space fall back to ragged. Return word x positions.
Why this case matters
Line breaking decides where paragraphs wrap on screen and in print; a wrong decision point shifts every following line.
