I used the text tool to create a small rectangle in MacDraw II (running on a
Mac Plus with 2.5MB in an 800K partition).  I entered a few random sentences
in Palatino 12 with the style set to "Left".  I used background printing and
shipped the file to a LaserWriter Plus via CAP software.  It printed
correctly.  I then changed the style of the text to "Justified" and again
printed the document.  The text came out compressed horizontally into about
half the space of the original rectangle.  It was justified, but the letters
overlapped.  (What a mess!)  Has anyone else seen this problem?
