Would love to hear or read more about this if it is public.

You can, but then you're limited to a single font format and you would not gain any benefits from the browsers' ability to download in parallel. A lot of this will improve when HTT…

There are several hacks. Almost all of them rely on using JavaScript to make a XMLHttpRequest to retrieve font data. This will force the browser to load the fonts earlier by workin…

I agree, hyphenation is crucial to proper line breaking. If you don't mind a JavaScript solution you can have a look at: * http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/ * https://github.com…

My colleague Tim Brown maintains a website containing links to all sorts of web typography resources: http://nicewebtype.com/

As mentioned above, Knuth's algorithms are implemented in many professional typesetting and layout applications. I think the people implementing those applications have great respe…

I'm not totally sure, but I think the linear time papers I've read sacrifice some of the aspects of the original Knuth and Plass algorithm. I think some of those are going to be ne…

I'm really excited about this. While it is not the Knuth and Plass algorithm, it takes one of the nice features of it and proposes a simple algorithm to implement it. Implementing …

I've been maintaining a jQuery plugin for the text-overflow property for a while. It works well in most cases: http://www.bramstein.com/projects/text-overflow/ You can see a test p…

Author of the JS implementation here. Let me know if you have any questions about the implementation or problems integrating it. I was hoping someone would pick it up and integrate…

Thanks for the reference. I have also recently released my own JavaScript hyphenation engine: https://github.com/bramstein/Hypher It is quite small and fast, and mostly aimed at in…

I had a look at the problem and it seems to be related to the page transition animations (the amount of flicker seems corresponds to the animation steps.) I've created a ticket for…

That looks like a bug, I've created a ticket for this issue: https://github.com/Treesaver/treesaver/issues#issue/147 Thanks for catching and reporting it.

I would also highly recommend "Digital Typography" by Knuth. It contains a more detailed description of the algorithm as well as many interesting historical and technical chapters …

It is the whole paragraph as far as I can tell (I haven't seen the internals, just the output.)

As far as I know, this is the only implementation in JavaScript. It might be possible to turn this into a jQuery plugin at some point, but there are probably quite a couple of bugf…

Internet Explorer actually has this through the (almost standardized) text-justify CSS property. It still doesn't do hyphenation, but Hyphenator.js ( http://code.google.com/p/hyphe…

I have the same Chrome version, but I'm running Ubuntu. Perhaps it is a font issue. I will check it out later when I have access to a Mac. Thanks for reporting.

You probably could get it working, but the implementation isn't (yet) capable of dealing with arbitrary HTML. It only expects paragraphs and images. This is only a matter of implem…

I honestly hadn't thought about printing it out yet. I had a quick look, and I think the issues you are seeing can probably be fixed. My initial plan was to render PDFs server-side…

Zooming is problematic, I haven't quite figured out a reliable way of fixing it yet. The problem is most apparent in Webkit based browsers, Firefox seems to handle it much better (…
