I love the fact that on my browser, with default settings, the word "this" at the end of the first paragraph is set nowhere near the rest of the paragraph… is that done with and tag
How would you break 2nd example if you were limited to just 2 lines? If breaking on two lines, how important is it that the bottom line be longer than top line? Important enough to break the rule of keeping words together? example: break at "curious" so bottom line is longer than top in a 2 line scenario?
If it is a subhead in a magazine article - left justified - does that alter decision?
I produce a city/regional magazine for a newspaper publisher. My boss (an old-school newpspaper veteran) insists that a line never break after a preposition, and often leaves me saddled with awkward lines. Rewrites are rare. Are there any grammatical or style conventions that support his approach? What would Robert Bringhurst do?
When is justification appropriate? My design professor in college told me justification was the devil, along with center alignment. However, a colleague mentioned that his professor told him everything should be justified. (that can't be right) So when should you? When shouldn't you? And is there anything we should know?
I was trained to break headlines at natural reading pauses. Both examples you give could have been broken better. In the first, the natural reading break was before "at" in the second line. In the second, before "and". Granted, it might not look quite as nice, but it would read much more naturally.
Thank you for a wonderful blog. I enjoy reading every week!

European style font numbers
is there a font that will display the European numbers correctly like the number seven with a bar through it?
