Title: [SOLVED] Final line in text frame not justified
Post by: arthropod on October 05, 2025, 10:19:16 PM
I am typesetting a novel and having problems with paragraphs that span text frames.

The last line in a text frame, even if it is in the middle of the paragraph, acts as if it is the last line in the paragraph. It doesn't respect the full justify.

However, I actually began typesetting this novel earlier before realizing I set the margins wrong. I made a new file to correct the issue (in case I change my mind again later lol), and this issue is ONLY happening in the new file, which makes me think I forgot to tweak a setting somewhere. The original file justifies the text based correctly on its location in the paragraph, not in the frame.

Previous, correct behaviour: 2025-10-05_16-07.png

Current, incorrect behavior: 2025-10-05_16-07_1.png

What did I forget?  ???

are you using the option Align Text Justified or Align Text Forced Justified. to format the text?

Align Text Justified. However, I just went and tried Align Text Forced Justified, and weirdly enough it didn't affect that line either: (https://portalbaby.one/lychee/uploads/original/14/e4/b01394b42fe166912634f89cc2fb.png)

So now I'm thinking maybe it's a bug.

If you can post the .sla, something weird is going on. Best if you do a collect for output.

Sorry, what is meant by collect for output?

Never mind, I found the option. .sla attached.

Ok looked over the file. cant find an issue. I'm thinking there might be something wrong with the font. Have your tried another font and see if the issue persists?


side note, i have forgot to mention to zip of the entire directory from the collect to output and attach that.  ::)

That seems to be it! Picking a different font fixed the issue. Thank you!

I have used Alegreya fonts version 2.008 without any problems
Check your font version.
