This is how Chinese is typically fully justified; each character is 
evenly distributed between the horizontal margins (I'm not certain about 
full justification of vertical Chinese). You often see this on menus in 
Chinese restaurants.

Some people like the look of a centered label and some people like the 
look of full justification. It is a personal preference.  The question 
now is whether Pango should be able to provide Chinese-style full 
justification or if it should be handled somewhere else.
